Education

The Interdisciplinary Program in Tumor Biology Ph.D. program provides doctoral students with an excellent environment and interdisciplinary training for a career in cancer biology research at Georgetown University.

The Master’s degree in Tumor Biology is designed to meet the needs of individuals who are interested in taking an advanced degree in tumor biology with a strong focus on state of the art cancer research methodologies. The program offers tracks in Cancer Systems Biology and Breast Cancer Health Disparities.

The master’s degree program in Biostatistics, with a focus in bioinformatics, provides integrated training in computational, quantitative, and biomedical sciences to support health-related research in academia, government and industry.

The Ph.D. in Biostatistics program is designed to train outstanding biostatisticians who will advance the field of biostatistics. Students will not only acquire powerful modern statistical methods and computational tools, but also will be educated in cognate areas of biological and health sciences such as genetics, epidemiology and biology.

The master’s degree program in Epidemiology provides advanced training in the fundamental principles and practice of epidemiology with a focus on health disparities.

The master’s degree program in Health Informatics & Data Science is aimed at health professionals, engineers, and math/science/computer science majors seeking to become practicing clinical informaticians.

This postdoctoral program provides a solid foundation in the skills needed to succeed in a science career, a focused research experience in basic cancer biology in a strong laboratory environment, and opportunities to obtain support for the transition from postdoctoral trainee to independent cancer research scientist.

This fellowship provides a balanced program of clinical training and research experience in order to develop the best clinicians and investigators in the country.

The Cancer Biology, Prevention and Control track is offered in partnership with the University of the District of Columbia (UDC), and trains graduate-level cancer researchers in how to conduct biomedical research focused on cancer biology and health disparities in minority populations, leading to an M.S. degree granted through the University of the District of Columbia.

This volunteer opportunity is for outstanding high school and undergraduate students interested in pursuing a career in the biomedical sciences.

This paid internship program is open to undergraduates, particularly those from backgrounds underrepresented in biomedical research, with an interest in STEM, cancer and/or biomedical research.

This experiential learning program, led by faculty and staff at the Ralph Lauren Center, provides immersive training in ongoing cancer-related community outreach and engagement projects in the Georgetown Lombardi catchment area.

This program offers undergraduate and medical students, regionally and nationally, the opportunity to engage in medical research, patient care and patient education provided at Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center and MedStar Georgetown University Hospital.
