Training Program in Breast Cancer Prevention and Therapy for Undergraduate Students

Abstract

The overall objective or this training program is to provide an opportunity for undergraduate students to spend summer to get exposure to concepts or breast cancer research. We proposed six students to be divided amongst 7-8 faculty members working closely in the area or breast cancer. During the last 3 summers we had introduced the program to the Honors college and GPPA program office. However the project was extended for one more year for the funds left over to train one student. This year we recruited Mr. McCormick for the second summer. He completed a project which will be submitted for publication. He also prepared a short report at the end of the summer and presented a 20 minute departmental seminar. He is interested in continuing to do breast cancer research if he gets an opportunity.
