UCSF-Genentech Clinical Development Fellowship in Hematology/Oncology
Program Description
The UCSF-Genentech Clinical Development Fellowship Program partners two top leaders in academic research and the biotechnology industry to provide an immersive, mentored, two-year training experience for PharmDs in their early postdoctoral years. The objective of this program is to provide training in the proper conduct of clinical trials, safety surveillance and risk management, clinical research methodologies, and exposure to scientific and ethical issues encountered in clinical research and development.
Fellows will work with research and clinical faculty members at UCSF—a world-renowned teaching institution that focuses on the health sciences—where they will participate in clinical research, provide patient care at UCSF Health, learn in interdisciplinary didactic settings, and present and publish results of scholarly work at scientific meetings.
