Cancer Training Program

Training Program in the Molecular Biology of Cancer at the University of Virginia School of Medicine

The Predoctoral Cancer Training Program is designed to provide students with a strong foundation in cancer research. Our objective is to supplement the comprehensive educational goals of the doctoral programs in Biomedical Sciences at the University of Virginia with specific cancer-oriented research and training activities.

Students can pursue research in one of the many facets of cancer biology, use modern tools and state of the art techniques, and be exposed to translational research through our Cancer Center and clinical faculty mentors. Our goal through this training program is to provide young basic scientists with an understanding of physical, clinical, and psychosocial issues related to cancer.

For the past 35 years, this program has prepared selected individuals for careers in basis research and teaching relevant to cancer biology. It is supported by NIC training grant T32 CA 009109.
