Graduate School
Gerstner Sloan-Kettering Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences
Click here for flyer and more information.
The goal of the Gerstner Sloan-Kettering Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences is to train a cadre of outstanding scientists to exploit new advances and developing fields in biomedical sciences and apply their training directly to advancing the understanding of human disease. Because we want our graduate students to understand the clinical relevance of their bench research they are exposed to the clinic with clinic visits from the beginning of the program and throughout their tenure in the graduate program with the selection of a clinical mentor at the end of the second year/beginning of the third year.
The School offers the next generation of scientists a program to study
· cancer genetics
· genomic integrity
· cell signaling and regulation
· structural biology
· immunology
· chemical biology
· developmental biology
· computational biology
· experimental therapeutics
· experimental pathology
· imaging and radiation sciences
· oncology
· genomics
· animal models of disease
through the lens of cancer while giving students the tools they need to put them in the vanguard of research that can be applied in any area of human disease.
Students admitted into our PhD Program are offered a fellowship package which includes
· a stipend ($31,680 for 2008-2009)
· a tuition fellowship which covers all tuition and fees
· a first year stu dent allowance
· medical and dental insurance

Standford Diversity Outreach for Doctoral Education
On October 24, 2008, Stanford University is hosting a graduate preview program, STANDOUT: Stanford Diversity Outreach for Doctoral Education. We know that Xavier has a long history of producing outstanding diverse graduates in the sciences and we would appreciate your assistance with identifying students to apply to the STANDOUT program. We encourage high achieving Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors at your institution to apply if they are interested in graduate studies in the fields of life sciences, natural and earth sciences, education, business, engineering, or social sciences. More information can be found at our website, located at http://vpge.stanford.edu/prospective/diversity/preview/. The deadline for applying to STANDOUT is August 8th. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
