Research Education

Supporting the Next Generation of Underrepresented Research Scientists and Health Professionals


Our Mission is to grow the next generation of underrepresented research scientists and health professionals devoted to solving cancer health disparities in a range of disciplines. To do so, we provide integrated educational and career development opportunities to emerging cancer scientists, especially those from racial and ethnic groups that are underrepresented in the biomedical sciences, at three key points in the training pipeline: undergraduate, medical, and PhD students.

The Program Contact is the Research Education Core Coordinator Mercedes Mendoza, MSc. You can reach her at mquintanaserrano@sdsu.edu or by calling 619-594-2613.
