The
Continuing Umbrella of Research Experience (CURE) Program, funded by
the National Cancer Institute at NIH, allows high school students and
college freshmen from underserved minority populations to receive
state-of-the-art training in basic, clinical, and population based
cancer research. Participants have the opportunity to investigate the
mechanisms by which hormones, growth factors, receptors, and viruses
control cell fate, oncogenesis, metastasis, and cell growth. Successful
applicants are assigned to a specific lab based on the area(s) of
interest listed on their personal statement, and participate in all
aspects of that lab's research. Students also attend a weekly seminar
series, including topics on the basics of cancer research and career
counseling. For more information, visit http://www.cancer.northwestern.edu/Education/Training.cfm#CURE or contact Dr. Robin Leikin at 312-908-9229 or rleikin@northwestern.edu
