Training in Molecular Pathology of Cancer at Institute of Cancer at Barts & University of Cambridge
A new £5 million, five year training programme in the Molecular Pathology of Cancer begins in October 2006, jointly hosted at the Institute of Cancer, Barts and The London Medical School and the University of Cambridge. The aim is to develop a cohort of medical and non-medical scientists equipped intellectually and technologically to conduct the highest quality research on the molecular pathology of cancer. The programme is funded generously by Cancer Research UK [new window].
The programme will be overseen by a Steering Committee, who will also be involved in the selection of applicants for the available training posts.
What Is Molecular Pathology?

- The development of molecular and genetic approaches to the diagnosis and classification of human tumours
- The design and validation of predictive biomarkers for treatment response and disease progression
- The susceptibility of individuals of different genetic constitution to develop cancer
- The environmental and lifestyle factors implicated in carcinogenesis
