The Cancer Biology specialization prepares aspiring researchers to study cancer's molecular and cellular foundations, along with prevention and treatment approaches. Students in this program have access to diverse cancer research laboratories across Penn State's various departments and colleges, while engaging with curriculum that explores modern principles in cancer biology and clinical applications. Participants also benefit from observational opportunities with oncologists at Mt. Nittany Cancer Care Partnership to understand patient care perspectives, while collaborating with Penn State Cancer Institute scientists through lab work, annual conferences, seminars, and academic discussions.
