## Abstract

ABSTRACT – CRCERA 
The Cancer Center is part of the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute, a nonprofit accredited 
degree-granting research institution in La Jolla, CA. We are one of seven NCI-designated basic research cancer 
centers. Our researchers conduct paradigm-shifting, collaborative, multidisciplinary basic research into the 
causes, prevention, and treatment of cancer, with the goal of developing new therapies that alleviate human 
suffering and disease. We are dedicated to the education, training, and mentoring of our researchers, and are 
committed to providing experience and education in cancer research to minority and disadvantaged high school 
and undergraduate students from the San Diego area. We also provide a full spectrum of graduate student and 
postdoctoral educational and training opportunities in preparation for employment in academia, biotech/pharma, 
and other related professions. Mentoring and career enhancement support and opportunities are provided to 
both tenured and non-tenured cancer center faculty. We also provide a platform for cancer patients, survivors, 
and advocates to provide input and feedback through a Community Advisory Board, and we conduct public 
outreach through a program of open houses and other community educational events.
