BTBBR Program Faculty
Student research is supervised by a dissertation committee
consisting of, at minimum, 3 DBBE faculty and 2 basic biomedical science
faculty. BTBBR Program Faculty are
selected based on the relevance of their research to the BTBBR program and
their mentorship experience. New Program
Faculty can be added by request of students or faculty upon approval of the
Steering Committee, which reviews the faculty composition annually.
