CaNCURE: Cancer Nanomedicine Co-ops for Undergraduate Research Experiences

CaNCURE: Cancer Nanomedicine Co-ops for Undergraduate Research Experiences Program seeks to provide training and education in research at the interface of nanotechnology, cancer biology, and medicine to attract, retain, and encourage young scientists & engineers, particularly those from underrepresented minorities, to pursue careers in cancer research. The program will achieve this central aim by creating meaningful and rigorous research experiences mentored by outstanding academic and clinical researchers and supplemented with high-impact learning and professional development opportunities. The program combines Northeastern University’s model of co-op education with the outstanding cancer nanomedicine research infrastructure at Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center to create an immersive and inclusive training environment for knowledge and skills acquisition for the next generation of cancer researchers.
