TITLE

Multidisciplinary Training in Experimental Hematology

DIRECTOR

Scott Kaufmann, M.D., Ph.D.

SUMMARY

This multidisciplinary program trains postdoctoral fellows to perform research in the area of experimental hematology. Applicants with the M.D., Ph.D., or M.D./Ph.D. degrees will be recruited, with efforts especially directed toward identifying individuals from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups. The core of this training program is a 2 to 3-year research experience in conjunction with a faculty member performing investigations in the area of myeloid and lymphoid malignancies, cytokine-induced signaling, angiogenesis, coagulation and microcirculation, experimental therapeutics, experimental immunology or clinical epidemiology. This research experience is supplemented by a combination of didactic courses, journal clubs, tutorials, and research seminars. Applications from M.D.s will be considered in conjunction with the Hematology/Oncology Clinical Fellowship Training Program.
