The Interfaces Training Program is a new interdisciplinary graduate training program at the interfaces between the biological, medical, physical and engineering sciences. UCSD is one of ten universities selected through the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) to initiate this new program.

The program's goals are:

      (1) Focused Collaboration across nine graduate degree programs at UCSD to train a new generation of cross-disciplinary scientist

      (2) State-of-the-art Interdisciplinary Training through a new technology-centered hands-on graduate laboratory course curriculum.

      (3) Novel Emphasis on Research aimed at integrative and quantitative analysis across multiple scales of biological organization from molecule to organism in health and disease.

The Interfaces Training Program offered student training beginning in Spring 2006. The program will be submitted for approval as a formal degree specialization. Detailed information for students interested in applying to the Interfaces Training Program is included under Application and Admission.
