Postdoctoral T32 Training Program in Cancer Biology on an NIH NCI Funded Grant
The T32 Training Program in Cancer Biology at the University of Maryland Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center (UMGCCC) is a multidisciplinary fellowship training program supported by the NIH (T32CA) that focuses on basic and translational cancer research with the ultimate goal of enhancing clinical oncology. The training program provides cross-disciplinary, mentored research training in cancer, and supports overall professional development through seminars, journal clubs, workshops, and career development. Clinical and basic research is conducted in several laboratories within UMGCCC. An overview of UMGCCC's extensive research programs can be found on the Research Programs page. The program is well-suited to individuals who are highly motivated to seek broader training in addition to the traditional single lab-focused postdoctoral experience.
Research areas include:
- Cancer genomics
- Cancer and the microbiome
- Computer-aided drug design
- Structural biology
- Experimental therapeutics and drug resistance in leukemias
- Tumor immunology and immunotherapy
- Genetic modification of hematopoietic stem cells
- Proteolytic signaling mechanisms in inflammation, tumor and vascular biology
The T32 training program provides a competitive stipend commensurate with qualifications, travel, health insurance, and tuition remission. Appointments to the training grant will be for two years, with the possibility of an extension for another year depending on productivity; support for additional years may be available from the primary research mentor’s grants.
