## Abstract

Outreach – Project Summary
The mentorship of current and future trainees who can tackle cancer-related problems with computational
systems biology approaches is an integral part of fulfilling our commitment to catalyze and generate new
bodies of knowledge and fields of cancer study. To achieve this goal, we will: 1) Establish graduate student
fellowships for students jointly mentored in computational systems biology, precision measurement or
oncology. 2) Provide undergraduate research opportunities for MIT students to work in laboratories at DFCI. 3)
Provide outreach to the biotech/pharmaceutical industry. 4) Establish an NCI CSBC Junior Investigators
program. 5) Facilitate monthly meetings and annual retreats that will be open to the MIT/DFCI community. 6)
Offer mini-courses and training in experimental and computational methods. 8) Provide outreach to the
community. and 7) Establish and maintain a website for disseminating research activities of our center as well
as relevant techniques and applications.
