Focus on Trainee Research
|
The Department of Oncology is housed within the Cross Cancer Institute, where cancer patients from the city of Edmonton and the surrounding area are treated. The Institute is located on the northwest corner of the University of Alberta Campus. The Department of Oncology is divided into seven Academic Divisions. Traditional laboratory-based training programs are primarily completed through the Division of Experimental Oncology, where both basic and translational medical research training opportunities exist. The Department of Oncology awards M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Oncology according to the guidelines established by the Faculty of Graduate Studies and the Department of Oncology Graduate Coordinating Committee. The Division of Experimatal Oncology offers exceptional training opportunities with access to the latest laboratory technologies. State of the art facilities are housed on site for cellular imaging in basic research experiments and whole animal imaging in translational research. Students have access to instrumentation for laser scanning confocal microscopy, fluorescence timelapse imaging, quantitative fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, PET and MRI imaging, proteomics analysis, and molecular biology instrumentation.
