Training Program in Breast Cancer Prevention and Therapy for Undergraduate Students
Abstract
The overall objective of this training program is to provide an opportunity for undergraduate students to spend summer to get exposure to concepts of breast cancer research. We proposed six students to be divided amongst 7-8 faculty members working closely in the area of breast cancer. During the last summer we had introduced the program to the Honors college and GPPA of program office. During the last summer training period we selected six students from a pool of 10 to the summer training program. Unlike last summer four mentors decided to accept students, each selected one student except one of the mentors selected two students. The students learnt laboratory procedures and prepared a short report at the end of the summer and presented a 20 minute departmental seminar on their accomplishments with the mentor and the PI. One of the students wishes to continue participation next year and wants to join PhD program whereas one student will join dental school the two will join medical school and one is undecided.
