| The
Developmental Biology
Training Program at Duke involves more than 45
developmental biologists in nine departments. Faculty
use a wide array of animals and plants for basic
developmental, evolutionary-developmental, developmental
genetics and translational studies. Trainees
have a rich environment
for coursework, and a range of choices for research. Resources
at the University include the Marine Laboratory,
the Institute of Genome and Science Policy, the
Human Genetics Institute, Systems approaches,
plus many opportunities for research problems
in each of the nine departments. The
Program is funded by
NIH and by individual fellowships from a number
of agencies. Students have the opportunity to
rotate between departments and laboratories their
first year, and often take advantage of many
collaborative opportunities during their dissertation
work. The program and their seminar series are
broadly interdisciplinary and give students an
opportunity to find and explore an area of particular
interest. |
