Translational Research in Clinical Oncology
The virtual Translational Research in Clinical Oncology (TRACO) course is usually held on Monday afternoons from September to November by WebEx. TRACO is designed to provide an overview of general principles of cancer biology and treatment, epidemiology, 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.
