National Center of Competence in Research - NCCR Molecular Oncology

The NCCR Molecular Oncology provides education and training in cancer research at several levels. It participates and strengthens the ISREC International PhD Programme and the MD/PhD programme of the University of Lausanne, providing medical doctors with an opportunity to carry out a PhD thesis in molecular oncology.

 

The NCCR presently supports the training of approximately 30 PhD students and 30 postdoctoral fellows. NCCR advanced courses in microscopy, imaging and morphology have been carried out by the NCCR imaging facility (MIM) for users including students from the University of Lausanne and the EPFL.

 

Beyond the above mentioned efforts, the NCCR is currently developing a web-based teaching program in molecular and clinical oncology as an additional educational tool (see project "Oncology Online"). This program is expected to generate much interest in medical and science faculties beyond Lausanne.
