NIH Biotechnology Training Program

The training faculty are scientists from six academic units in six Colleges of the University. These include Molecular Plant Sciences , Veterinary Microbiology and Pathology, Chemical Engineering, the School of Molecular Biosciences, Chemistry, and Pharmaceutical Sciences.

 

Affiliation with Ph.D. Programs are noted to emphasize the interdisciplinary network that is a hallmark of the organization of biological science departments at WSU.  Because of these multiple affiliations, graduate students in any given laboratory are likely to be in different Ph.D. Programs and thus they receive firsthand experience in the fundamentally interdisciplinary nature of contemporary research.
