Post-Doctoral Fellowships in Genome Sciences & Hemoglobinopathies
Description:
The Post-Doctoral Training Program in Genome Sciences & Hemoglobinopathies is an innovative collaboration between Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC). The purpose of this multidisciplinary program is to train post-doctoral fellows to become outstanding investigators in the basis for and treatment of the hemoglobinopathies utilizing the research tools and approaches of the genome sciences.
Fellows will gain a broad understanding of the genome sciences as applied to the study of hemoglobinopathies through advanced coursework; rotations in genomics, proteomics and computational laboratories; research in laboratories with active programs in the hemoglobinopathies; and co-mentoring by training faculty with diverse expertise in both genome sciences and the hemoglobinopathies, including clinical, translational and basic science research.
Post-Doctoral Fellowships in Genome Sciences & Hemoglobinopathies are available to qualified post-doctoral students who are permanent residents of the US or of countries classified as low or lower-middle income on the World Bank List. This training experience will further the network of domestic and international investigators working to reduce the pain and burden of hemoglobinopathy disorders.
Fellows may associate with one of over 20 faculty sponsors located at both Duke and UNC. To review faculty research please click here.
