hemistry-Biology Interface (CBI) Graduate Program at Johns Hopkins University

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.

Undergraduate Research Opportunity

Hi Undergraduates, 

I'm Enbo Zhao, a graduate student from Dr. Gleb Yushin's group in the MSE department. I'm looking for undergraduate assistants who're interested in energy storage and battery research. 

Our group focus on electrochemistry-related nano-structured materials. I'm currently working on supercapacitors based on nano-carbon/metal oxides electrode materials. We will start from synthesizing electrode materials and proceed to electrochemical tests then. Therefore, the students will basically gain the skill of how to assemble electric devices from the very initial materials in our group. You will also receive 3 credits/semester (weekly working hour must be more than 9 hours) (credits are of MSE 2699/4699, not CHEM ones) letter-graded by Dr. Yushin based on your performance in lab. I am looking for students that are conscientious, hard-working, curious and aggressive. Their GPAs are expected to be no less than 3.5, but not absolutely. After all, a lab is the place to practice theories from books. Dr. Yushin is very nice and smart and our group will be a great place to enrich your experiences. Please email me your resume if  interested in the opportunity
