Postdoctoral Training


The postdoctoral training program provides an environment and research experience for junior scientists in areas relevant to drug discovery and integrative chemical biology. The goal is to prepare trainees for successful careers as independent scholars. Trainees select a primary research advisor in one disciplinary area and a secondary advisor from a different academic discipline. The curriculum includes an Advanced Topics in Drug Discovery course offered once a year, a visiting lecture series and specialty workshops that are held throughout the year, and an annual symposium.
