Post-Graduate Training Opportunities

Extensive research opportunities are available for post-doctoral fellows and medical residents in the Department of Cell Biology. A number of senior scientists pursue sabbatical research in laboratories of departmental investigators. Although post-graduates usually devote full time to research, opportunities are available for participation in medical and graduate course teaching. Many post-doctoral fellows in the Department of Cell Biology have been awarded highly competitive fellowships from the National Institutes of Health and numerous private foundations. In the course of post-doctoral training, the department provides a prime environment for: gaining experience in a broad spectrum of state-of-the-art cellular and molecular experimental approaches; presenting findings in informal groups, research seminars and at national meetings; and interacting with other laboratories and industry-related groups.
