As a Cancer Biology student, you complete advanced coursework in both basic and clinical cancer biology. By including faculty from throughout the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS), we ensure that your research is thorough, multidisciplinary, and translational.
Despite the progress made in elucidating mechanisms that underlie human cancer, we are still seeking further understanding of the fundamentals. This curriculum aims to do just that.
