Trainees A large part of Huntsman Cancer Institute’s mission is to pass down knowledge by training upcoming generations of scientists and physicians. Trainees come from all age groups—high school to postdoc. The trainees featured here share a little about themselves, their work, and what brought them to Huntsman Cancer Institute.
T
he pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on training in biomedical research. To overcome these
barriers and meet our deep commitment to training the next generation of cancer researchers, Huntsman Cancer Institute has taken many steps: holding trainee town halls, moving classes and meetings online, developing online curricula, and providing access to protective equipment and adequate COVID-19 testing. We have supported our trainees during the last two years and look forward to helping them flourish as the pandemic wanes and our training activities return to normal. — DO N AY E R , P H D Senior Director of Cancer Training and Career Enhancement
