# Molecular, Oncology and Immunology Training Grant

## Abstract

This proposal requests funds for continued support of our comprehensive training
program in molecular oncology and immunology. We request support to training 5
predoctoral and 10 postdoctoral fellows (PhD, MD or MD/PhD) in the integrated
discipline of molecular oncology and immunology. Training focuses a combined
education in this interdisciplinary area, to provide trainees with a better understanding of
the regulatory mechanisms involved in cellular transformation, growth control, tumor
initiation and progression, and immunological responses. A particular focus of the
program is on translational approaches to improved cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Cross-fertilization of these disciplines allows development of entirely new approaches to
study both proto-oncogenes and immunologically relevant cells and tissues in their
normal state as well as in neoplastic situations, fostering the development of
translational research in cancer. The unique aspects of this program are that trainees
become proficient in the basics of both immunology and molecular oncology; the
students receive a significant exposure to cancer research in a clinical setting; the
students have the opportunity for in-depth research on a cancer related project; the
trainees become proficient in critical evaluation of the current literature, analysis of
experimental data, and presentation of the results of research; and all trainees are
educated in the responsible conduct of research. Thirty-nine faculty members from the
Departments of Pathology, Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Pharmacology, Medicine,
Pediatrics, Urology, Radiation Oncology, Dermatology, Radiology and Microbiology
participate as primary mentors in this program, and they are supplemented with a
committed set of clinician-educators as Associate Faculty. The program is under the
aegis of the Sackler Institute for Basic Medical Sciences and the New York University
Cancer Institute and makes full use of the extensive basic and clinical cancer research
infrastructure of New York University School of Medicine to intimately involve trainees in
both the practical and the intellectual rigors of cutting-edge cancer research.
