Mentors
An NIH Training ProgramCraig Levin, PhD, Program Director
Sanjiv Sam Gambhir, MD, PhD, Co-Program Director
The Training Committee will assign to incoming fellows at least two mentors selected to guide their intended research experience based on their research focus stated in their application and their interview. In matching the fellow to their two mentors, the Training Committee will also provide recommendation for courses to be taken for a particular fellow.
The program provides opportunities for vertical integration of multiple technologies/approaches. To place guided tracks for trainees, faculty research interests are organized into eight program areas.
