Basic Laboratory Science Training
Basic laboratory science research training at the University of Hawaii Cancer Center is performed by independent investigators, who employ cellular and molecular biological, and chemical approaches to study the mechanisms regulating cellular neoplastic transformation, cell growth, gene regulation, and apoptosis. Collaborative efforts are also underway to identify novel modulators of oncogene proteins and cytoskeletal elements from blue-green algae and higher plant natural products. Participating investigators are members of the Natural Products and Cancer Biology Program of the University of Hawaii Cancer Center.
Laboratory training opportunities are also provided by investigators in the Epidemiology Program. Research is performed in modern, well-equipped laboratories, which are located at the University of Hawaii Cancer Center building on Lauhala Street, the Bioscience Building on the School of Medicine Kakaako campus, and in Bilger Hall on the University of Hawaii Manoa campus.
The research training experience of students at the UH Cancer Center is enriched by formal courses offered by various undergraduate and graduate departments on the University of Hawaii Manoa campus, and academic/professional discussion groups organized by the University of Hawaii Cancer Center.
