The UCLA Tumor Immunology Training Program offers comprehensive training in tumor immunology at the graduate and postgraduate levels. The majority of the faculty are engaged directly in research in the field of tumor immunobiology or closely related fundamental research. The faculty is divided administratively into three major research areas to facilitate communication and organization of training activities, including seminars, minisymposia, and affinity groups. Postdoctoral trainees are evaluated by the Advisory Committee. Trainees participate in cohesive UCLA Immunology Cancer Programs which emphasize collaboration and cooperation in research and training. Individual trainees have frequent contact with other trainees and investigators having knowledge of areas of immunology, cancer, and biomedical sciences at UCLA and elsewhere in the world. The Program supports campus seminars on basic or clinical biology of cancer and immunology topics and informs trainees of campus immunology-and cancer-related activities. The training program contains several major elements:
- research experience in a stimulating environment with an established scientist.
- intensive instruction in principal cancer and immunological sciences via lectures, seminar courses, laboratory workshops, symposia, and affinity groups in research.
- synthesis and extrapolation (putting-it-together) by participation in local research seminars, preparation of manuscripts for publication.
All trainees and preceptors participate in interactive workshops and courses on bioethics. |
