A central means of Program integration is the Biotechnology Research Club which is held once a month during both the academic year and the summer. Trainees and several faculty members every year present a 45-50 min seminar on their research. This research club is attended by all funded and many non-funded trainees (a total of 15-18), several postdoctoral fellows, the Program Director, the advisor of the Trainee who is presenting her/his research, as well as several training faculty. All funded Trainees for this Program must present their research work once a year. The seminars by training faculty members have as an objective to further expose the trainees to the research of the training faculty. Furthermore, 2-3 Biotechnology seminars, mostly during the summer, emphasize visits by prominent researchers from biotechnology companies. The purposes of these seminars are to expose trainees to currently evolving, cutting-edge areas of research and clinical applications. |
| In addition to the Biotechnology Research Club, Trainees may also attend more specialized research clubs held either biweekly or once each month. IBiS students participate in several research clubs. The Graduate Student Seminar, held biweekly throughout the school year, is organized and run by the students, and is attended exclusively by the students. This seminar series provides an opportunity for students to discuss their work with their fellow students in a relaxed atmosphere. Two other clubs, the Molecular Biology Club, and the Molecular Biophysics Club have operated continuously over the last twelve years. These clubs provide opportunities for students and postdoctoral fellows in the middle of their training or beyond to present a full-length seminar to a combined audience of students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty. ChBE students also attend several other research clubs: the Hematopoietic-Culture Research Club, the Prokaryotic Physiology and Genetics Club (joint with IBiS students and faculty), in addition to individual-faculty group meetings. BME trainees also have the opportunity to participate in numerous research seminars and clubs in addition to the Biotechnology Research Club. |
Each participating department/unit runs its own seminar series throughout the academic year and frequently during the summer. The seminar listings are posted on the departmental web sites. Finally, the seminar series of BioOpportunities, which is organized by the IBiS program, aims to foster the career development of both predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees. |
