The mission of the Molecular Signaling and Cancer Biology Training Group is to educate the next generation of biomedical scientists in the understanding of the basic processes of molecular signal transduction. This knowledge will be applied to the study of differentiation, development, apoptosis and growth of normal and abnormal (malignant) cells and the treatment of disease states, with a special emphasis on cancer. The group encourages and facilitates development of integrated, interdisciplinary approaches by promoting interactions with faculty representing research areas such as cancer biology, cancer pharmacology, biomedical engineering, and chemical biology. The Training Group provides opportunities for development of independent and critical thinking skills by fostering participation in scientific seminars and research forums and will provide specialized graduate courses in the areas of Signal Transduction and the Molecular Basis of Cancer. These opportunities provide students with a strong foundation in biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology, and cancer biology preparing them for a wide range of career opportunities in academia and industry.
Training Groups are topic-oriented research groups consisting of faculty from multiple departments.
Training groups are an administrative home for PULSe students, a student choice that impacts
curriculum and research training activities.
