Our Cancer Biology PhD students are helping advance our understanding of cancer, and we love seeing them come together to share their research!

The program recently held its 13th Annual Cancer Biology Retreat, giving students the opportunity to learn from one another and connect with faculty mentors as they work toward discoveries that could lead to better ways to prevent and treat cancer.

Thanks to the student planning committee for making this year's retreat a success!

“My recommendation is that learners should treat the HILS master's program as more than just an academic degree, because it truly is more than that. It is a catalyst for change in and of itself, a catalyst for change at the individual level and at the organizational level and at the community level.” ~HILS Alum Rama Mwenes Musalia, MSE, PhD
