To Apply

The Biotech Training Program is an inclusive cohort that strives to improve preparation and access to STEM research careers. We embrace demographic, scientific, and geographic diversity and encourage participation by all interested students, including those from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, with disabilities, and from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Traineeships

Each year we add ~10 new trainees that participate with Protein Biotechnology traineeships funded by NIGMS and WSU partners. To be considered for a traineeship, you must be admitted as a doctoral student in one of five WSU Ph.D. programs. Trainees are then nominated to the Biotech program by these partners.

• Chemical Engineering and Bioengineering (VSCEB)
• Chemistry
• Immunology and Infectious Diseases (IID)
• Molecular Biosciences (SMB)
• Molecular Plant Sciences (MPS).
  • Applicants seeking Protein Biotechnology participation with a traineeship are advised to explain their research and/or career interests in protein-related research and biotechnology in their applications to doctoral programs.
  • Applicants may also alert the Biotech program of interest and we will solicit your application from our partner program for traineeship consideration.

Walk-on Participation

Graduate students from any WSU program may participate in monthly forum professional development meetings, annual symposia, and the Protein Biotechnology course (MPS/MBIOS/CHE 574, each fall). To initiate this participation, please reach out to the program coordinator.
