About Graduate Studies in Chemical Biology at Yale
The
application of chemical concepts and approaches towards a better
understanding of biological phenomena and human disease requires
a broad multidisciplinary training. Yale University’s
Chemical Biology Training Program draws upon the strengths
of several departments to provide interdisciplinary training at
the interface of chemistry and biology. Special features of the
Chemistry/Biology Interface (CBI) training
program include interdepartmental course work and rotation schedule,
a Fall Chemical Biology Retreat, a monthly in-house seminar program
for discussion of recent results and an annual Chemical Biology
Symposium.
The principles of cooperation and collaboration
between investigators with diverse expertise and interests are at
the heart of Yale’s CBI Graduate Training Program. A friendly,
supportive environment, open discussion, shared resources, and multi-lab
training are fundamental parts of these studies.
Yale Graduate Studies in Chemical Biology combine
the strengths of selected faculty from the Chemistry
Department, the Molecular,
Cellular & Developmental Biology Department, the Molecular
Biophysics & Biochemistry Department and the Pharmacology
Department. |
