Philosophy of Graduate Studies
Incoming students will learn the guiding principles of how to conduct biomedical research. An individually tailored curriculum will be designed to assure that the student acquires the necessary theoretical background and appropriate knowledge and skills. Through frequent interaction with fellow students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty, the students will share in the excitement of making scientific discoveries and learn to design and develop successful research programs. The development of the student will be closely monitored during the course of the program. We expect the student/mentor relationship to evolve into that of colleagues.
