Degree Description:

The NIH Protein Biotechnology Training Program at Washington State University offers interdisciplinary training to enhance the graduate experience and produce versatile scientists and engineers to address the future needs of biotechnology in academic, industrial, or government service.

The program provides state-of-the-art training in basic science relevant to biotechnology and an education in the applied aspects of biotechnology, with particular emphasis on protein science.

Trainees in the Program are admitted for graduate studies through one of the participating academic units, then nominated for a traineeship:

Trainee positions are supported by a grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, part of the National Institutes of Health, and contributions by Washington State University.

Admission Requirements:

Students completing this certificate participate in the NIH Biotechnology Training Program and are concurrently enrolled in a partner PhD program (Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Bioengineering, Immunology & Infectious Diseases, Molecular Biosciences, or Molecular Plant Sciences). Students are often nominated for Biotech participation by a partner doctoral program but may contact the program directly to solicit participation in the certificate. There are no tests required. Students earn the certificate by taking the required courses, perform an industrial externship, and participate in the Biotech Program activities during their Ph.D. career.
