Education @ IGS: Something for Everyone!
IGS believes education is the backbone of research. IGS is a strong force in graduate and post-doctoral training. Our faculty mentor students from multiple PhD and master's graduate programs at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. IGS is the home for the Genome Biology Track within the Molecular Medicine PhD program that is part of the Graduate Program in Life Sciences (GPILS).
In addition, IGS postdoctoral fellows participate in robust campus-level organizations and have excellent success rates for receiving F, T, and K grants. IGS also has a T32 grant--Systems-Level Research in Microbial Pathogenesis--that supports two graduate students and two postdoctoral fellows each year.
In addition to graduate students and postdocs, we passionately engage in teaching all levels--from middle school through seasoned professionals--about genomics and bioinformatics. Our outreach offering includes professional workshops, seminars, webinars, internships, and summer STEM programs.
