Cancer Research Explorations
An Online Program for Middle and High School Science Teachers

This program contains an online library of video presentations on cancer research topics and career paths by University of Florida Health Cancer Center faculty and graduate trainees. The presentations were made at our annual Cancer Research Conferences for Science Teachers and Cancer Research Symposia for High School Students.

Content

Each module includes a video recording of the presentation topic, a speaker bio and a topic abstract. The video presentations are 10 to 30 minutes long. The modules can be used as a classroom aid for teaching a broad range of science and health research topics, including biostatistics and data science, cancer control, DNA damage, drug discovery, engineering, genetics and epigenetics, immunology and immunotherapy, the microbiome, the microenvironment, and molecular biology.
