The ACE Scholars Program aims to recruit motivated undergraduates from a diverse set of backgrounds and skillsets to pursue research projects at the intersection of cancer biology and evolutionary theory. The emerging field of cancer evolution seeks to employ evolutionary theory to address the progression of cancer in individuals and how natural selection has shaped cancer risk across the tree of life. Our group explores a broad range of research questions within this field from cancer-like diseases in species of coral to reproductive cancers across mammals. Much of our research relies on computational and bioinformatics methods, but a background in these topics is not required to be considered for admission. We also having a growing number of hands-on wet lab projects if you are interested in gaining experience in a laboratory. The ACE Scholars program offers robust training in the methods relevant to our research as well as professional development training aimed to enhance graduate and medical school applications, science communication, and personal branding.
