Interdisciplinary Cancer Sciences Program

Advancing Cancer Research Through Interdisciplinary Education

Welcome to the new PhD in Interdisciplinary Cancer Sciences (ICSP), a unique and innovative program designed to shape the future of cancer research.

ICSP doctoral candidates specialize in a specific discipline while also gaining a holistic understanding of the entire cancer research continuum. 

ICSP welcomes applicants from diverse academic backgrounds and seeks a balanced, interdisciplinary cohort reflecting the full breadth of cancer research across the four ICSP pillars. We strongly encourage applications from candidates in fields such as epidemiology, public health, biostatistics, nursing, psychology, physical and occupational therapy, computer science, social work, and biomedical sciences.

As the first interdepartmental PhD program within the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, ICSP marks a major step forward in interdisciplinary education. The program brings together a diverse community of cancer research experts, delivering a comprehensive training environment spanning four key research pillars.
