Adam Pah has been admitted to the NIH-funded Biotechnology Training Program. The Northwestern 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. It 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 better prepared to enter the biotechnology industry or pursue academic and governmental biotechnology research.
The novel aspects of this program include:
- An interdisciplinary education,
- Close collaborative efforts among participating faculty and students from various disciplines,
- Substantial exposure to industrial biotechnology through industrial biotechnology internships,
- Access to a variety of advanced topic and specialized courses,
- The Biotechnology Research Club seminars,
- A large variety of seminars and colloquia on various aspects of biotechnology.
- Furthermore, trainees may get exposure to several research laboratories through short-term residences or rotations.
