About
Unlike a semester-long graduate course or an academic seminar series spread across a full year or more, the course delivers a large amount of material into an intensive training period. The program is 70% seminar-based and 30% workshop-based, including computational workshops. The program is designed around a daily schedule that balances lectures, hands-on workshops, informal meetings with faculty, and evening seminar and poster sessions. Over eight days, participants interact directly with faculty, JAX Cancer Center scientists, patient advocates and medical oncologists to gain broad exposure and knowledge as it relates to human cancer.
This course is held in a retreat-like setting and is limited to 50 participants to ensure a supportive, interactive learning atmosphere.
