Biotechnology Leadership Program Welcomes Five New Trainees

We ask you to join us in welcoming the 2017 cohort of Caltech's Biotechnology Leadership Predoctoral Training Program in Micro/nanomedicine. Established in 2015, the NIH Biotechnology Leadership Pre-doctoral Training Program (BLP) has grown to encompass 26 outstanding Caltech faculty members from multiple graduate options who conduct interdisciplinary biomedical research at the micro- and nano-scales. The BLP training program provides trainees unique opportunities to participate in industry-relevant research and exposes trainees to the wide variety of careers available to biomedical leaders. Thus, the BLP training grant program provides excellent training for scientists who intend to conduct biomedical research, regardless of whether they choose to pursue their careers in industry, academia, a government lab, or even in a start up company. Without exception, the 15 trainees in the BLP are engaged and accomplished young researchers.
