The program format is a series of lectures, an extensive lab practicum, and a brief symposium focused on the collection and preparation of saliva samples, as well as the measurement and application of salivary biomarkers in biobehavioral research. The short course is intended to facilitate the crosstraining of graduate students, newly independent researchers, and established investigators, as well as to update professionals from the health care and biotechnology industries interested in saliva as a potential diagnostic fluid of the future.
Enrollment is limited to ten to twelve attendees.
