Description
The Nanomedicine and Chemical Biology (NCB) team offers an outstanding training program to graduate students. Students have access to a wide variety of courses to broaden their fundamental knowledge on chemistry, biology, drug discovery and development. NCB also emphasizes hands-on training and experiential leaning, and many of our courses incorporate components of labs, journal club, oral presentations, and peer feedback. Students are also required to actively participate in our interactive seminar series and work with their supervisor on a thesis project. Our trainees are extremely competitive for highly skilled jobs after completing their training (see featured alumni for more information).
