IGERT Program in Engineered Bioactive Interfaces and Devices

Sponsored by the National Science Foundation

      The Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) program, supported by the National Science Foundation, is a multi-disciplinary doctoral fellowship program for students interested in the science and engineering of bioactive interfaces and devices. Faculty members involved in the IGERT program are from the Departments of Chemistry, Chemical and Materials Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Anatomy and Neurobiology, Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, the Center for Biomedical Engineering and the College of Pharmacy. Graduate students participating in the IGERT program receive their Ph.D. in one of these areas while benefiting from a host of multidisciplinary education and research activities in bioactive interfaces and devices. The research program is focused around three integrative themes: Novel Bioactive Architectures, Cell/Protein Interactions at Interfaces, and Integration Into Devices.
