Huntsman Cancer Institute is dedicated to understanding, detecting and treating cancer at a genetic level. This leads to therapies that are better able to attack the root cause of the disease. Our research team is composed of specially trained and highly experienced professors, physicians, graduate assistants, and support staff who utilize the most advanced facilities and technology available to perform cancer research at various levels. Progress depends upon the efforts of clinical and laboratory scientists dedicated to new understanding, detection and treatment methods. Future scientists, graduate students and interns train to develop skills while participating in exciting, leading edge research projects.

Research projects are under individual faculty sponsorship. We try to match individual interest in a specific or general area of research with appropriate groups. However, the program cannot guarantee that the student will work in a preferred area of research. Faculty mentors and the program director make decisions on final research placements.
