The Cancer Center provides 2-year National Health Institute (NIH)-level stipends for predoctoral in basic, clinical, and population science research.

This day-long annual symposium is organized and presented by residents and fellows who partner with faculty to provide case examples that include research components.

The event is designed to:

• Increase awareness of oncology specialties and research opportunities
• Promote networking and connect students with mentors
• Explore multi-disciplinary teams in research
• Introduce the importance of equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging
• Provide hands-on learning during an afternoon simulation lab

To address the national shortage of physician-scientists, the Cancer Center participates in MCW鈥檚 long-standing Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP), which supports medical and research training culminating in the receipt of both an MD and PhD. If students remain in good standing, they are provided a tuition scholarship, a generous stipend, along with health insurance paid for by the program.

This learning opportunity hosts a diverse cohort of students who have a variety of undergraduate majors including biology, biochemistry, chemistry, biomedical engineering, math, physics, microbiology, neuroscience, genetics, biological sciences, psychology, philosophy, and English.

Explore MSTP

Graduate students have access to certificate, MS, and PhD training programs in multiple areas such as biomedical engineering, immunology, and public health. By learning alongside nationally recognized researchers and educators, students will receive an enriching and engaging learning experience.

Summer programs are available to help students actively participate on a research team supervised by Cancer Center members. Participants gain opportunities to observe how discoveries translate into the development of new treatments and to explore basic science, clinical or translational research, and potential research careers.

Partially funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), this program provides 8-12 weeks of laboratory and didactic research training designed to expose medical students to research and research careers at an influential time in their career decision-making.

The program aims to:

• Provide trainees with rigorous, hands-on, fundamental research experiences within the translational research laboratories of full-time, NIH-funded MCW investigators
• Facilitate opportunities for trainees to observe how discoveries translate into the development of new drugs, devices, and treatment modalities in the clinical arena
• Encourage trainees to remain connected to research and mentoring beyond the short term through opportunities to publish, present, and continue advancing their projects toward Honors in Research

This annual symposium allows trainees an opportunity to showcase their research through oral presentations and poster sessions. The event includes a keynote address from a nationally renowned scientist with attendees comprised of high school, college, and graduate students as well as postdoctoral trainees.
