<\/div>

Highly motivated Georgetown B.S. in Human Science<\/a> students can complete the requirements for the M.S. in Tumor Biology in one semester after completing the bachelor’s program.

Students in the Master of Science in Tumor Biology<\/a> program will learn basic concepts in cancer biology. Topics include biochemistry, pharmacology, prevention and methodology specific to cancer research. Students will be trained in basic laboratory techniques and will complete a research project. Graduates from our program will have a comprehensive understanding of the underlying mechanisms of cancer progression and the existing clinical challenges in treating this disease.

Students are required to complete a Laboratory Research Project (TBIO 7050 and 7060). Students\u00a0are matched with a cancer researcher at Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer\u00a0Center based\u00a0on mutual preferences. In the laboratory, students receive hands-on training for planning and conducting experiments\u00a0to answer\u00a0key questions in cancer biology. Common techniques learned include methods in cell culture, molecular biology (analysis of DNA, RNA, proteins or metabolites) or in vivo models of cancer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n
