Students and post-doctoral fellows work closely with faculty and staff to develop strong research programs that lead to publications in world-class journals. Students present their work at national and international meetings.
Research within the center involves a number of disciplines such as biochemistry, pharmacology, toxicology, and oncology. Graduates have moved on to faculty positions at institutions such as the University of Kentucky, and the University of Adelaide, and research scientist positions at companies such as Merck, Schering Plough, and Monsanto. Also, many graduates have decided to continue their education by moving on to post-doctoral positions at institutions such as Harvard University, National Cancer Institute, M.D. Anderson, National Institutes of Environmental Health Sciences and University of Wisconsin.
