Translational Research in Clinical Oncology

Female and Male Scientists Working in The Laboratory

The virtual Translational Research in Clinical Oncology (TRACO) course held on Monday afternoons in the Fall by WebEx. TRACO is designed to provide an overview of general principles of cancer biology and treatment, genomics, precision medicine, mechanisms of resistance, use of preclinical models, and identification of novel molecular targets. Participants will have an unprecedented opportunity to learn new information, glimpse into future developments of translational research in clinical oncology and meet leaders in cancer research. The participation of NIH Postdoctoral and Clinical Fellows is encouraged.

For more information contact Dr. Terry Moody at moodyt@nih.gov or by phone at 240-276-7785.
