<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>Does anyone have any suggestions for notable cancer research (specifically cancer genetics) programs? I am interested in this field, but I don't know where to look for suggested programs.</p>
<p>Thanks ahead of time!

<p>Hi,
I currently work at MIT in cancer genetics. It is a great place to be (if you can stand the terrible winters). I highly recommend it. Very dynamic, well funded, and cutting edge research.</p>
<p>i think that any top tier biology program like harvard or UCSF would have excellent faculty who study cancer</p>
<p>Hey - You absolutely should check out the Sloan-Kettering Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences/Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences. Cancer work is pretty much all they do, and they are a notoriously good program, with notoriously awesome benefits.</p>
<p>Star4Wars, when do you plan to apply to graduate school? Do you have any more specific interests in the field of cancer genetics? If so, try a pubmed search and look for your favorite articles and find out where those faculty members are from. There are many great places in the US to choose from (GSK, UW-FHCRC, UT-MD Anderson, Dana-Farber, MIT, Stanford). Many cancer centers are usually affiliated with a university (i.e. Harvard and Dana-Farber, UW and Fred Hutchinson). Try to look at the faculty members as well to find similar interests. I think once you really get into a specific topic of cancer genetics, then finding schools that are the best in these areas should come rather quickly. Good luck!</p>
<p>Thank you guys...very good ideas. masta_ace, its hard for me to figure out what specific topic that I might be interested in only because there are so many of them. However, looking at professors specifically is a good idea (especially since the majority of graduate school would be dedicated to working with one specifically).</p>
<p>Any other suggestions would be appreciated...keep them coming!</p>
