The Cancer Biology Graduate Program at the University of Wisconsin has its origins in the Ph.D. program in Oncology, which was established at the McArdle Laboratory for Cancer Research more than 50 years ago as the first graduate program to offer a degree in basic cancer research. The program now includes trainers from nine departments on the UW campus. During the past 50 years, more than 800 women and men have received pre- or post-doctoral training through our program. Many of these alumni now hold faculty positions at universities throughout the United States and abroad, and most of the others are doing research at research institutes or in government or industry laboratories.
