CHEMICAL BIOLOGY Graduate student trainees in the chemical biology track will also participate in our NIH-funded Chemistry-Biology Interfaces (CBI) Training Grant Program. Participation in this training grant program includes full financial support by the NIH during the second year of graduate training for domestic students, and customized training and professional development activities including monthly workshops, career and networking events, fellowship application preparation, mentorship, and grant writing assistance. The Chemical Biology graduate program at UC San Diego is a vibrant hub of discovery, where the boundaries between chemistry and biology blur to reveal the intricate workings of life. This dynamic program leverages the department's interdisciplinary strengths, equipping students with the tools to delve into the molecular foundations of biological systems.
