UCSC seeks graduate and postdoctoral scholars for stem cell training program
Thursday, December 22, 2005
Written by Branwyn Wagman
The UCSC Training Program in Systems Biology of Stem Cells is accepting applications for three predoctoral students and three postdoctoral fellows, who will each receive at least 2 years of support. The CIRM scholars undertake research projects with faculty mentors from UCSC and also participate in a variety of learning opportunities. This program receives funding from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), which in September 2005 approved funding for UCSC to establish a training program in stem cell research. The CIRM was established in early 2005 with the passage of Proposition 71, the California Stem Cell Research and Cures Initiative. The UCSC training program offers predoctoral and postdoctoral students a solid understanding of the biology of stem cells, the skills to use stem cells in their own research, and the ability to devise and use computational approaches in their stem cell research.
