Training Opportunities
NEW GRADUATE COURSE: Biological Core Technologies ( MM730)
The major goal of the course “Biological Core Technologies” is to provide an overview of the principles and applications of modern techniques, which are regularly employed in academia and industry as tools for biomolecular and biomedical investigation. The course will become part of the core curriculum in the Molecular Medicine Graduate Program. The Evans Center developed this course also with intention of providing clinical researchers and clinicians with the opportunity to learn more about basic core technologies and common biological tools of research.

Graduate Program in Molecular Medicine
An important mission of the Evans Center is to enhance training opportunities on campus. Faculty affiliated with the Evans Center have significant experience in training graduate students, including within the Graduate Program in Molecular Medicine, directed by Dr. Herbert Cohen (www.bumc.bu.edu/gpmm) and within the Graduate Program in Genetics and Genomics, directed by Dr. Shoumita Dasgupta (www.bumc.bu.edu/gpgg/). These training faculty are also members of several NIH-funded graduate training programs on campus, including a Training Program in Cardiovascular Biology directed by Dr. Katya Ravid (a collaboration between the Department of Biochemistry and Cardiovascular Investigators on campus): (www.bumc.bu.edu/cardiograd); Training Program in Immunology, Directed by Dr. David Sherr (www.bumc.bu.edu/immunology/); Training Program in Hematology, Directed by Adam Lerner (www.bumc.bu.edu/hematology/research-activities/); Training Program in Aging, Directed by Dr. Peter Polgar (www.bumc.bu.edu/busm-bi/facilities-resources/training-program-in-aging-research); and more.
Post-Doctoral Training
Faculty affiliated with the Evans Center have significant experience in training clinical and research post-doctoral fellows. Post doctoral training is supported via various grant mechanisms, including NIH-funded training grants, such as in Cardiovascular Biology, directed by Dr. Jane Freedman (www.bumc.bu.edu/busm-wci/educational-programs); in Hematology, Directed by Adam Lerner (www.bumc.bu.edu/hematology/research-activities/); in Pulmonary, Directed by Dr. David Center (www.bumc.bu.edu/pulmonary/fellowships/allergyfellowship/); in Nephrology, Directed by Dr. David J. Salant (www.bumc.bu.edu/renalsection/researchtrainingprogram); and more.
