About Washington University - Division of Public Health Sciences
WashU is among the world’s leaders in teaching, research, patient care, and service to society. We are committed to learning and exploration, to discovery and impact. Training researchers in cancer prevention and control is a central mission of the Division of Public Health Sciences of the Department of Surgery, Washington University in Saint Louis School of Medicine (WUSM), and the Cancer Prevention and Control Program of Siteman Cancer Center (SCC). The T32 Transdisciplinary Cancer Prevention and Control Training Program is a unique asset to the school and region, as it prepares both PhD and MD researchers to be independent investigators in transdisciplinary research for cancer prevention and control.
The Division has grown since the recruitment of its chief, Dr. Graham Colditz, in the fall of 2006. Twenty one faculty members now engage in research across the cancer continuum. The Division is also a resource for other WUSM faculty pursuing outcomes research among cancer patients. Our T32 training program builds upon other research programs and centers within the university, including the Community Networks Program Center (Program for the Elimination of Cancer Disparities, NCI ...U54), the Transdisciplinary Research in Energetics and Cancer (TREC) Center (NCI U54), and the Institute of Public Health at Washington University.
