The program stresses laboratory rotations to introduce students to varied research areas, interdisciplinary seminars, and research in the laboratory of a participating mentor. Two courses and a seminar are designed specifically for trainees. Trainees are required to fulfill the degree requirements of their chosen Departments. Upon completion of the program, a trainee receives certification in Biological Chemistry along with a degree from the Trainee's home Department. Faculty members from all participating departments are mentors in the program.
Students work with a mentor on each of their three lab rotations.
Typical Curricula Students will select a course curriculum from either the College of Arts and Science or the Medical School. A limited number of trainees will receive a full stipend for the first two years of support. Thereafter students will join research groups and will be paid through research assistantships.
