Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences - Cancer Biology and Genetics (Thesis Track)

The M.S. program is aimed at broad interdisciplinary training in the major areas of Biomedical Sciences. The goal is to train students in the theory and practice of Biomedical Sciences for eventual service in research and teaching. Students are instructed in diverse laboratory techniques through a series of lecture and laboratory courses, and provided with a program of experimental research for thesis students under the guidance of a faculty member. Two options are available: Thesis Track, with a transcripted concentration in the area of thesis research. Five areas of concentration or clusters are available: Cancer Biology and Genetics, Infectious Disease and Immunity, Molecular and Cellular Biosciences, Neuroscience, and Organ Systems and Translational Medicine. Students complete and defend a master's thesis under the supervision of a faculty member. Non-Thesis Track, which is in General Biomedical Sciences. Students complete didactic coursework in each of the five cluster areas. This interdisciplinary Biomedical Sciences graduate program offers five areas of concentration for students who plan to earn the M.S. with a thesis: Cancer Biology and Genetics, Infectious Disease and Immunity, Molecular and Cellular Biosciences, Neuroscience, Organ Systems and Translational Medicine

The Cancer Biology and Genetics (CBGN) cluster offers educational and research opportunities in the areas of cancer and the genetic and molecular basis of human disease within the Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program at Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University (LKSOM). The CBGN cluster provides PhD, MD/PhD and MS students the opportunity to work with faculty from the Fels Research Institute at the School of Medicine and the Fox Chase Cancer Center (FCCC), as well as basic science and clinical departments at LKSOM. The membership of FCCC faculty in the CBGN cluster affords students the opportunity to undertake their research in FCCC laboratories. Students have their choice of numerous research laboratories at both LKSOM and FCCC to provide training in Cancer Biology, including mechanisms of transformation and tumorigenesis, signal transduction, the cell cycle and DNA repair using novel model systems and other cutting edge techniques. Other investigators studying the genetics and epigenetics of normal and diseased states use state-of-the-art genomic and epigenomic techniques and analyses. In addition to mechanistic studies, CBGN investigators are developing novel therapeutics for both the treatment and prevention of cancer and other diseases. Moreover, other CBGN members specialize in Cancer Prevention and Control and Cancer Immunology.
