Curriculum

The core requirements for the CBI Training Program are Foundations of Chemical Biology (CPBP 320), one year of Graduate Seminar in Chemical Biology (CPBP 310) and one cross discipline course.   Students are also required to complete three 8-10 week lab rotations their first year.   The trainee's home department determines the remaining course requirements.
