Our cancer sciences graduate programs are in collaboration with the University at Buffalo. The internationally-recognized scientists and world-class facilities at Roswell Park provide an outstanding training environment. Because Roswell Park is a cancer research hospital, students have a wide spectrum of choices for their research focus, from the basic investigation of cancer mechanisms, to translational/clinical research with direct relevance to disease treatment.

Patients are our focus at Roswell Park. Research in basic and clinical areas are centered in patient needs. The graduate program in Cancer Sciences is an integral component for driving research to understand, prevent and treat cancers. The PhD program also focuses on the student needs for flexible future career options. New initiatives in Student Interest & Impact Groups are ongoing to help students develop and pursue their interests and career passions while maintaining their own personal wellness. Student Interest Groups that have started are:

  • Science Policy
  • Student Wellness
  • Patient Engagement
  • Career Options
