The graduate curriculum is tailored to meet each student's research interests and career goals. The training program stresses hands-on experience in a wide variety of state-of-the-art approaches and techniques. This experience is gained through a series of three rotations in different laboratories to gain familiarity with various techniques and scientific environments. The rotations are arranged individually by the student in consultation with the faculty member and the student's Advisory Committee.
