University of Delaware

Through its partnership with the University of Delaware, the Cawley CTCR provides undergraduate and graduate students cancer-focused research projects. CTCR faculty serve as mentors for UD students who complete their undergraduate or master’s theses or PhD dissertation projects in the CTCR. In addition to laboratory training in cancer research methods, the CTCR provides students exposure to the clinical environment through participation in tumor boards and interactions with physicians and clinical teams. This experience helps students understand the patient care questions that guide translational research and prepares them for further education and careers in cancer research, medicine, and biotechnology.
