Projects are varied and represent active areas in biomedical research.
The Program provides our students with assistance in planning future education and career paths, including graduate and professional schools. An exciting new initiative in Biotechnology is available to Senior MLS students. Designed in collaboration with the Department of Biological Sciences and funded initially by a Workforce Development Initiative from CUNY, the Program includes an intensive techniques workshop course and an internship for qualified candidates in biotechnology companies.
