- present their research at a special poster session at the end of the program
Students will learn from scientists who are conduction research in:
- developmental biology and genetics
- signal and pathways involved in the control of cell proliferation
- cell-cell interactions, adhesion, and protein targeting
- tumor immunology, immunotherapy, and transplantation biology
- genomic integrity and human cancer genetics
- drug development, drug resistance, and clinical therapeutics
