Cancer Biology

The Sheila and David Fuente Graduate Program in Cancer Biology is a university-wide interdisciplinary training program that draws upon clinical and basic sciences from multiple departments and medical school divisions of the University of Miami.

The scientific focus is broadly cancer research with an emphasis on fundamental cellular processes, their deregulation in cancer, the identification of novel diagnostics and therapeutic targets. In addition to training in technical aspects, the curriculum places a strong emphasis on scientific reasoning as the most important and portable aspect of Ph.D. training.

The University of Miami Miller School of Medicine is an innovative institution that empowers our students and trainees to transform lives and inspires them to serve our global community.

Research is the backbone of our school. Through it, we are able to advance health care through leading-edge discoveries and offer the highest quality education to tomorrow’s physician-scientists.

We know institutional culture affects faculty vitality, trust and inclusion, work-life balance, values alignment and equality. Under the leadership of Dean Henri Ford, we have created an environment where our faculty feel energized by their work and supported to develop personally and professionally.
