I am
writing to seek your assistance in identifying prospective students for the
Chemistry-Biology Interface (CBI) Graduate Program at Johns Hopkins University.
The CBI Program provides students with research and academic training that
enables them to carry out interdisciplinary research as independent scientists.
Students completing the program receive a Ph.D. in Chemical
Biology.
The CBI
Program brings together 31
faculty from the Schools of Arts &
Sciences, Engineering, Public Health and Medicine at
Johns Hopkins University
and
provides a diverse selection of research projects
for CBI
students. In order to assist them in choosing a research advisor, first year
graduate students are supported by a NIH Chemical Biology Training Grant. During
this time the CBI students carry out three 10-week research rotations that
enable them to broaden their research skills and make informed choices of
research advisors.
Since
its establishment in 2005, the CBI Program has received an enthusiastic
response, and we have attracted an excellent group of students. Our program has
grown to over 30
Ph.D. students. With your help, we hope to continue expanding and developing
this exciting program. Please feel free to contact me if you or any students are
interested in learning more about the Chemistry-Biology Interface Program at
Hopkins. You may also browse the CBI website which describes many facets of the
program at http://www.cbi.jhu.edu. A
pamphlet describing the CBI Program is available on our website. An image of the
brochure is included below. Please share our information with your colleagues
and students. Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely
yours,
