Cancer Biology
Medicine (MD, Biomedical, and Professional Studies)
The goal of the Master of Science in Cancer Biology program is to provide an understanding of the fundamentals of cancer from an interdisciplinary perspective, including: biology and molecular biology of cancer initiation, metastasis, treatment, and bioinformatics/systems biology. The program is designed to meet the needs of two groups of individuals: (1) new or recent college graduates who wish to increase their marketability for jobs in academic or industrial laboratories through the acquisition of knowledge and skills more developed than those obtained through a standard college curriculum; and (2) currently employed technical staff in the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industry (or academia) who wish to advance their position. Consisting of both classroom and laboratory instruction, the program fills a need to train laboratory personnel in cancer theory and research. Graduates of this program will possess knowledge on both the theoretical and practical levels.
