The goal of this Training Program is to direct talented |
|
undergraduates into careers in breast cancer research. |
|
The program, called Breast Cancer Undergraduate Research |
|
Experience (BCURE), is a joint program between The |
|
University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) and the |
|
University of Maryland, Baltimore Medical School (UM,B). |
|
The centerpiece of BCURE is a full-time, 10- week summer |
|
research experience in the laboratory of an established |
|
investigator (mentor) working in breast cancer research. |
|
Ten UMEC and UM,B faculty, whose research programs focus |
|
on breast cancer, serve as mentors. The Program Director |
|
is a well- respected breast cancer investigator who has |
|
personally trained 50 undergraduates. Trainees also |
|
participate in a Breast Cancer Course and an optional |
|
Biomedical Research Ethics course. Trainees present their |
|
projects at laboratory meetings, program conferences, |
|
UMEC Undergraduate Research Day, as well as at national |
|
and international meetings, if appropriate, and in |
|
research activities such as journal clubs and seminars. |
|
They meet regularly with the Program Director and |
|
formally present their research at Breast Cancer Research |
|
Day. BCURE trainees include UMBC and non-UMBC |
|
undergraduates and represent the diverse population in |
|
the Baltimore area. The program includes eight trainees |
|
per summer. |
