1 Cancer Research Graduate Programs The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center

2 Mission The mission of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center is to eliminate cancer in Texas, the nation and the world through outstanding programs that integrate patient care, research and prevention, and through education for undergraduate and graduate students, trainees, professionals, employees and the public. Vision We shall be the premier cancer center in the world, based on the excellence of our people, our research-driven patient care and our science. We are Making Cancer History. Core values Caring By our words and actions we create a caring environment for everyone. Integrity We work together to merit the trust of our colleagues and those we serve. Discovery We embrace creativity and seek new knowledge.

3 At MD Anderson I learned how to think logically about biological problems and to design the right experiments to address those problems. The foundation I received was critical to establishing myself as an independent scientist. Valerie Reinke, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, Yale University Cutting-edge. Flexible. Student-oriented. The Cancer Research Graduate Programs at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston are all of these and much more. Students who carry out research at MD Anderson contribute to the fight against cancer while earning a Ph.D.

4 Learn from the best

5 The people here are so passionate about what they do. Everybody cares so much. It s inspiring to be around people who are so inspired. Keri Schadler, graduate student Program in Cancer Biology Innovative research is the driving force behind MD Anderson s international reputation for scientific excellence and outstanding cancer care. Students earning a Ph.D. degree in the Cancer Research Graduate Programs receive their training from some of the world s top scientists and play a role in discoveries that lead to new therapies for patients.

This gives MD Anderson a huge advantage. Gustavo J. Martinez, graduate student, Program in Immunology

8 A great environment

9 With its exceptional atmosphere and excellent faculty working at the very frontier of their research areas, MD Anderson has been a great place for an international student like me; it is like a family away from home.
