View Award Description

Interdisciplinary Education in Cancer Imaging and Therapy (EduCAIT)Training Program - ABSTRACT The Oncologic Imaging Program (OIP) of the Siteman Cancer Center (SCC) seeks to establish an Interdisciplinary Education in Cancer Imaging and Therapy (EduCAIT) Training Program to train the next generation of cancer researchers who will develop innovative diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic strategies to advance the management of patients with cancer. The next transformative frontier in cancer imaging and image-guided therapy involves interdisciplinary advances in chemistry, medical physics, computational biology, computational imaging, data science, and cancer biology. Confounding the transformative impact, there is currently inadequate training in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines to usher innovations in cancer imaging and image-guided therapy. To meet this objective, we designed an interdisciplinary training program to promote cross-fertilization, didactic, and practical training in three tracks: molecular and functional imaging of cancer, theranostics, and predictive oncology. Common to all tracks is education and training in critical skills to advance precision oncology including data science, informatics and bioinformatics, grant writing, entrepreneurship, ethics, and clinical investigation training to translate and commercialize innovations into clinical practice. The EduCAIT Training Program will support four predoctoral and two postdoctoral trainees. Trainees will be required to select two mentors in distinct domains, one in cancer biology/clinical domain expertise, to cement the interdisciplinary nature of training. The Training Program includes 54 Program Faculty who cover the spectrum of expertise across numerous Departments in the Schools of Medicine, Engineering, and Arts & Sciences to support the training. Importantly, the EduCAIT Training Program received significant institutional commitments to advance the training of the next generation of researchers in this critical and growing area of research focused on cancer imaging and image-guided therapy.
