Faculty Trainers in Biotechnology

Faculty trainers across the life and physical sciences work closely with graduate students, forming research communities that transcend the boundaries of traditional fields of study.

At Brown, the faculty aren’t just experts in their field, they become real supporters who stand by you like family. Thanks to their guidance and the doors Brown opened, I had an incredible all-around experience, from research to academics and beyond. I was even able to complete a co-op and secure my dream job right after graduation!
