Stanford ChEM-H Chemistry/Biology Interface Predoctoral Training Program

The Stanford ChEM-H Chemistry/Biology Interface Predoctoral Training Program is a multi-departmental interdisciplinary program that provides cross training in concepts and techniques from chemistry and biology. Our primary mission is to cultivate interactions and thinking across disciplinary lines in chemistry, biology, engineering, and clinical sciences to enable innovations in the study, diagnosis, and treatment of human disease. 

The training received in this program will complement the experience in the student's degree-granting home department to provide an extra dimension to the student's scientific education.
