Biotechnology certificate training offered on Indianapolis campus

Enrollment is open for the IU School of Medicine’s (IUSM) biotechnology certificate training program. Officials plan to enroll 15 students in the graduate-level training program this fall.

IUSM created the Biotechnology Certificate Training Program as part of the Indiana Genomics Initiative in response to the expanding frontier in biotechnology and the biomedical sciences. The program is housed in the new Biotechnology Research Training Center. A bachelor’s degree is required for admission to the program.

The program is designed for the continuing education of people working in academic or industrial laboratories, as well as new college graduates who want to enhance their knowledge and skills in the latest biotechnology areas.

Program curriculum includes intensive hands on laboratory work in molecular biology/ genomics, cell biology, and proteins/proteomics. Problem-based learning approaches train students to be independent scientists who can analyze, identify and find solutions to scientific problems. http://www.medicine.iu.edu/~gradschl/biotechTraining/index.html
