Students in the Interfaces Training Program will enroll in the new curriculum which includes six new hands-on graduate laboratory courses taught by interdisciplinary teams of faculty members who will introduce students to state-of-the-art techniques studying living systems across physical scales from molecules to the whole organism. These labs will introduce students to multi-scale techniques for measuring, imaging, manipulating and analyzing living systems. The laboratory courses have been designed to train students for modern research opportunities in integrative multi-scale biomedical science.

Interfaces Training Program Requirements

  • First year of study will include preparatory lecture courses to satisfy the core curriculum requirements of the home degree program.
  • Second year will require at least three of the six new hands-on technology-centered graduate laboratory courses - see below a list of labs and descriptions.
The Interfaces Training Program will not add new qualifying exam requirements but it will include a compatible candidacy exam policy. This will include internal deadlines, mentoring provisions and proposal standards.
