In addition to performing cancer research in their areas of expertise, the faculty members of the Laboratory of Experimental Radiation Oncology contribute to academic courses in radiation biology for residents in radiation oncology, residents in nuclear medicine and diagnostic radiology, graduate students in the College of Graduate Studies and undergraduate students in the College of Allied Health Sciences. Residents in radiation oncology also spend 3-12 months in the laboratory learning research skills. The Laboratory has an N.C.I. post-doctoral training grant for 1-3 years of specialized research training in "Cancer Research Training in the Science of DNA Damage Response". Please contract  Dr. Dennis Leeper for more information.  There is also a summer program in Basic Cancer Research under Dr. Ronald Coss.
