NANOBIOLOGY CERTIFICATE PROGRAM SEMINAR SERIES
APPHYS514-099
Fall 2010
Room: 4515 BSRB
Time: Mondays, 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm

Instructor: Daniel Q. McNerny
The Nanobiology Certificate Program aims to integrate students from a number of existing graduate programs within this interdisciplinary research structure and thereby to provide a coherent strategy for educating students more broadly in nanobiology while still maintaining intellectual depth in a core discipline.
The key features of the training program will be the breadth of the required course work, a requirement for multidisciplinary research experience, and the creation of a new student-led seminar program. They are:
-
Complete a nanoscience class within his or her Ph.D. area (3 credits).
-
Complete two nanoscience classes outside of his or her specific Ph.D. area (6 credits)
-
Perform collaborative research in a second laboratory or with a second research group
-
Attend APPPHYS514-099 seminar series (2 credits/semester, 3 semesters) THIS IS NOW: Physics 517 Nanobiology Certificate Seminar
Required Seminar:
In order to ensure intellectual cohesion and exchange of knowledge between students within the training program, a research seminar will be required.
Goals for seminar are:
-
Professors discussing basic science research and clinical translation
-
Academic and industrial career related
-
Tools for multidisciplinary research (effective communication skills, CV/research plan)
