Course description:

This program in the Center for Cell Biology and Cancer Research (CCBCR) offers graduate and postdoctoral training programs based on a comprehensive approach to the study of the Cell Biology of Cancer. The Center's faculty is comprised of an interdisciplinary group of scientists with expertise in cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry and physiology. This diversity is reflected in the combined use of cellular, molecular genetics and transgenic approaches to basic problems in cancer biology. Thus, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows are exposed to an interactive training environment focused on clarifying cell function in normal and disease states. The interdisciplinary nature of the Center's research programs facilitates the application of new findings not only to the field of cancer biology, but also to a variety of other diseases including atherosclerosis, arthritis and diabetes.
