DESCRIPTION (From the application): The goal of the new Cancer Biology Graduate Program at the Louis V. Gerstner, Jr. Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, is to increase the pace of translation of laboratory findings to clinical practice by introducing a new curriculum in cancer biology aimed at providing Ph.D. researchers with both the basic science training they need to be successful bench scientists and with a strong clinical perspective that includes:, connecting the biology of cancer to its clinical presentation, the challenges of clinical treatment, the workings of patient-oriented research, the process of development of Pharmaceuticals, and an understanding of how human physiology influences mode of intervention. The program accomplishes this with a unique integrated didactic curriculum designed by a team of basic and physician scientists that includes: (i) the Cancer Biology Core Course, which transits from a primarily basic science orientation to a more physiology-based orientation, culminating in "disease modules" that reach back to the basic science sections to explore in depth the underpinnings of the natural history, biology, current treatments, and existing model systems; (ii) bench science thesis research; and (iii) a thesis project-related apprenticeship with a Clinical Mentor, who serves as the student's guide to hospital-based academic activities. The faculty of the Gerstner Sloan-Kettering Graduate School are drawn from both the basic science and clinical arms of the Cancer Center.

描述(来自申请表)：小路易斯·V·格斯特纳癌症生物学研究生项目的目标。纪念斯隆-凯特琳癌症中心生物医学研究生院将通过引入新的癌症生物学课程来加快将实验室结果转化为临床实践的步伐，该课程旨在为博士研究人员提供他们成为成功的工作台科学家所需的基础科学培训，并具有强大的临床前景，其中包括：将癌症生物学与其临床表现联系起来，临床治疗的挑战，以患者为中心的研究工作，药物的开发过程，以及对人类生理学如何影响干预模式的理解。该计划通过由基础和内科科学家团队设计的独特的综合教学课程来实现这一点，该课程包括：(I)癌症生物学核心课程，该课程从主要的基础科学方向转变为更多以生理学为基础的方向，最终涉及到基础科学部分，以深入探索自然史、生物学、当前治疗方法和现有模型系统的基础；(Ii)板凳科学论文研究；以及(Iii)与论文项目相关的学徒，由临床导师担任学生以医院为基础的学术活动的指南。Gerstner斯隆-凯特琳研究生院的教职员工来自癌症中心的基础科学和临床部门。
