Short-term course on Cancer Health Disparity
Overview
The current nature of biomedical research, especially cancer research and education, is heavily
focused on the use of dedicated research facilities and working in teams and research
collaborations. Although the primary purpose of the proposed course is to encourage the
development of scientific research skills, stakeholders (undergraduate, graduate, postdoctoral
fellows, junior faculty, the public and members from industry) will be exposed to cancer
education and research preparation at Guru Ghasidas University. This opportunity will enable
interaction between stakeholders to enrich their cancer education. The expectations of this
course include exposing stakeholders to cancer research and education; preparing them for
independent research; fostering self-confidence and team-working abilities in observation,
recording, and interpreting data; providing mentoring interactions between the faculty and
students; developing scientific communications skills; and providing exposure and career
guidance and information about cancer careers in academia, government, and industry.
Therefore, the overarching goal of this course is to promote the understanding of the etiology of
racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic cancer disparities and to develop improved approaches to
reducing and eventually eliminating those disparities. This course will provide basic knowledge
of attaining excellence in research focused on the basis of cancer health disparities and on
reducing the cancer burden.
Objectives: The primary objectives of the course are as follows:
• to tap the pool of talented students, faculty, and oncologists
• to promote a Cancer Research and cancer health disparity issues
• to encourage graduate and undergraduate students across various scientific disciplines to
pursue careers in the biosciences through Cancer research
• to attract industry partner to invest in cancer research to encourage oncologists to
collaborate with basic scientists
• to promote cancer awareness and healthy lifestyles in the community
Course participants will learn about these topics through lectures and hands-on experiments. Also, case studies and assignments will be shared to stimulate research motivation of
participants.
