I am writing again to
seek your assistance in identifying prospective students for the
Chemistry-Biology Interface (CBI) Graduate Program at Johns Hopkins
University. There
is still time to apply! Please share our information with your colleagues and students.
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 29 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. A
pamphlet describing the CBI Program is also available
on our website.
Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely yours,
Steve Rokita
