| This up to 5-year program provides interdisciplinary training in genetic epidemiology and clinical, molecular and quantitative genetics to support research identifying genetic factors that predispose to cancer, and gene-environment interactions that confer cancer risk in humans. The program is based in Bethesda, MD. In addition to conducting research, fellows rotate through cancer genetics clinics. Rotations through a molecular genetics laboratory are arranged on an ad hoc basis. Fellows with no epidemiology training are strongly encouraged to take an epidemiology course during the first year. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or resident aliens or foreign nationals with a training visa. |
