T32 NCI Funded Program for Cancer Pharmacology Training Program
at RWJMS UMDNJ Department of Pharmacology

The Pharmacology Department at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (RWJMS) in collaboration with the faculty at the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy at Rutgers University (EMSOP, RU) and the Cancer Institute of New Jersey (CINJ) has initiated a training program in cancer pharmacology for postdoctoral and predoctoral fellows. The collaborative program brings together faculty from the three participating institutions with a common interest in cancer pharmacology. The major strengths of the program include the top quality of the faculty, existing research collaborations between the faculty and the opportunity for the trainees for research in both basic as well as applied cancer pharmacology. The training grant will be a unique opportunity to attract talented candidates and train them to become future research scientists in cancer pharmacology. The predoctoral trainees will be enrolled in the Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology Graduate Program administered by the Pharmacology Department at RWJMS that involves both course work and laboratory reserach. Postdoctoral trainees, in a ddition to basic laboratory research in cancer pharmacology with one of the faculty, will be required to take two of the elective courses related to cancer and cancer pharmacology offered in the Department of Pharmacology.
