Additional Notes: |
FAQs (from 2008) Trainees will be selected by a committee using the following
criteria: GPA, number of relevant courses completed, previous research
experience, letters of recommendation and an assessment of their
motivation, drive and originality. A strong interest in obtaining an
interdisciplinary education in biology and bioengineering will be a
prerequisite for inclusion in the training program. Preference will be
given to students who wish to do research in their cross-discipline
(e.g. a student majoring in bioengineering who wants to do research in a
biology lab), or who will be conducting research projects that
necessitate their spending significant amounts of time in both
bioengineering and biology labs. Students will typically participate
during the summer following their second and/or third years and will be
expected to continue their research during the following academic year(s)
on a for-credit basis. |
