In September, our Office of Education and Training coordinated a Cancer Research Showcase for Graduate Students, designed to introduce the vibrant cancer research community at UCSF to students across PhD and MD/PhD programs who wish to pursue a degree in cancer biology.
The goal of the event was to empower trainees to launch careers dedicated to improving our understanding and treatment of cancer. HDFCCC members are studying a wide range of aspects of cancer biology from basic mechanisms to translational research and computational biology.
