Doctoral Training
The Burn
and Shock Trauma Institute provides advanced research training
for a large number of individuals holding the Ph.D. degree.
Because our Institute is interdisciplinary, our research programs
attract individuals with interests in a wide range of specialties.
Our current post-doctoral trainees come from diverse backgrounds
ranging from immunology, physiology, biochemistry, and cell
biology through neuroscience. To learn about openings in an
area of interest, prospective post-doctoral fellows can contact
individual members directly.
