About Us

The Northwestern Predoctoral Biotechnology Training Program is an interdisciplinary and interdepartmental program, which provides select graduate students (Trainees) greater research and training opportunities than those available through the individual departments. The program promotes interdisciplinary education in biotechnology, interactions among faculty and students with interests in biotechnology, and provides a substantial exposure of students to industrial biotechnology research. Students trained through this program are prepared to enter the biotechnology industry or pursue academic and governmental biotechnology research.
