PhD Programs in Cancer Biology and Engineering at Sloan Kettering



The Gerstner Sloan Kettering Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences (GSK) is now accepting applications for our PhD programs in Cancer Biology and Cancer Engineering.

The Pat and Ian Cook Cancer Engineering Graduate Program provides training that merges cancer biology with bioengineering. Established in 2023 to run alongside GSK’s Cancer Biology PhD Program, the Cancer Engineering PhD program teaches scientists and engineers how to solve biological and clinical problems in cancer science and medicine through technological innovation and engineering. The Friedman Family Doctoral Program in Cancer Biology, which is recruiting its 22nd class, provides research training in biomedical sciences, including topics ranging from genetics and developmental biology to human oncology and pathogenesis.

Students in both programs join one of more than 130 laboratories at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) where they will examine cancer science through the lenses of basic, clinical, and translational research.

At GSK, we are committed to training a new generation of scientists who will advance the frontiers of biomedical knowledge. Established in 2006, our graduate school provides an interactive environment in which PhD students get the full benefit of the close integration of basic science and translational research for which MSK is known. Our programs offer students a wide range of learning and research opportunities with our internationally renowned faculty in a highly innovative and collegial scientific environment.

I hope you will visit our website to learn more about us and share information about our programs with your students who are considering careers in the biomedical sciences.
