RESEARCH AND TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES
Training opportunities are important components of any science program, and here at ASU, our students have first-rate medical and research training opportunities available to them. We have partnerships with medical training institutions, including the University of South Alabama School of Medicine and the Virginia Tech Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine. Our 海角直播 also obtain hands-on experience in the medical profession through our Tropical Pathology and Infectious Disease Association (TPaiDA) program. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) 鈥� RISE and The National Science Foundation (NSF) HBCU-UP Program are two important research training programs we offer to propel students toward scientific excellence. Furthermore, the Center for Nanobiotechnology affiliated with our department has received national commendation.
TALENTED, AWARD-WINNING FACULTY AND STUDENTS
Not only do we offer great degree and training programs, but the students enrolled
in the Department of Biological Sciences at ASU constitute a plethora of award-winning
individuals in the field of science. Our students have participated in medical internships
both locally and internationally. They competitively present their research at national,
regional and local conferences and symposia. They also hold membership to the BioMed
Club (the department鈥檚 official pre-professional organization), the National Institute
of Science, and Beta Kappa Chi National Scientific Honor Society.
The education of our students is the primary focus of our faculty members. Our goal
is to prepare our graduates for the future so that when they graduate from ASU they
are able to compete with the best. Faculty members in the Department of Biological
Sciences are united by our dedication to fostering the next generation of biologists
