Overview

Cancer Biology (CBIO) will draw upon clinical and basic scientist mentors from multiple divisions, departments and schools throughout KUMC, the University of Kansas Cancer Center (KUCC, including consortium partners at the Stowers Institute, Children's Mercy Hospital and the University of Kansas Lawrence).

Goals

The primary goal of Cancer Biology is to train future scientific leaders in cancer biology by providing a rigorous multi-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary education.

The scientific focus is broadly defined - cancer research - but there will be student-identified areas of emphasis that include:

cancer cell biology (including cellular signaling and response pathways that are altered and contribute to cancer etiology, progression and/or therapeutic resistance),

cancer prevention,

cancer therapeutics (including identification of novel diagnostics, cancer genetics and epigenetics, prognostic markers, therapeutic targets)

and cancer care delivery.

The program will be primarily basic research focused; but, translational, clinical and population-based research will also be included (and added as resources permit).
