NC State receives two NIH team science training grants

The Comparative Medicine Institute (CMI) at North Carolina State University has received two notices of award from the NIH to support interdisciplinary team science training of graduate students. Combined, both grants involve over 60 faculty mentors distributed across multiple NC State University Colleges. They will directly impact 9-10 new PhD students per year as well as a much greater number indirectly through the creation of new courses and related minors (to be announced soon).

T32 Award - Dr. Joshua Pierce and Dr. Gavin Williams

Chemistry of Life Program

Focuses on the interface of chemistry and the life sciences, and bridges molecular focused researchers from across NC State. This program is the result of a multi-year collaboration between CMI and the Department of Chemistry, now expanding to include five graduate programs from four colleges.

T32 Award - Drs. Ke Cheng, April Kedrowicz, Matt Fisher and Jorge Piedrahita

Graduate programs: Comparative Biomedical Sciences, Biomedical Engineering, and Cellular & Biomolecular Engineering
