Prospective Students

The Department of Oncological Sciences serves as the hub for graduate student training in cancer biology at the Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI) at the University of Utah. Participating faculty in the Department of Oncological Sciences accept PhD students from the molecular biology or biological chemistry programs at the University of Utah. To learn more about these programs, including how to apply, please visit the University of Utah's bioscience PhD program's prospective students page. Students can also join the department through University of Utah School of Medicine's MD/PhD program.

After completing the first year of graduate work, or first two years of medical school, a student selects a thesis lab and formally joins the department.
