- Yes.
- In order to be eligible for the CBTP you need to be admitted to a participating graduate program (CHE, BSB, Pharm, MGM), pursue the CBTP coursework and rotate in one of the CBTP laboratories.
- This training program provides an interfacial curriculum that will train students in the application of the quantitative and synthetic methods of chemistry to biology. Trainees are a core component of the Chemical Biology community on campus, which is centered in the Institute of Chemical Biology & Drug Discovery. The Institute holds an annual symposium in which all CBTP students participate. In addition, trainees will learn how to communicate their science to the public. Other special activities are held throughout the year.
- A co-advisor is a faculty member who adds chemical or biological breadth to your thesis mentoring. Their duties are intellectual, not financial, just as the rest of your thesis committee, but someone whose own research expertise is a bit closer to your project than may always be the case for a thesis committee.
- Yes, you would. However, if you are already receiving NIH-training grant support through the MSTP program, you will not be considered for CBTP fellowships.
- All interested students who are members of participating graduate programs (CHE, BSB, Pharm, MGM) may join the CBTP.
- A description of the application process has been posted here. There are two components.
- Identifying your interest to the Program Directors so that we may provide you with information about activities in Chemical Biology.
- Applying for fellowship support.
- All interested students who are members of participating graduate programs (CHE, BSB, Pharm, MGM) may join the CBTP. If a student is pursuing a PhD in a CBTP laboratory, in early May of their first or second year they may apply for a Chemistry-Biology Training Grant fellowship for funding in their second and/or third year. Six NIH-funded and University-funded fellowships are available each year.
