Biotechnology PhD Training Program
UVa
We require all BTPers to complete the introductory ‘Biochemical Engineering’ (CHE 6447) course. Both non-engineers and engineers do well in this course.
We also require you to complete either ‘Cell Structure and Function’ (BIMS 5012) or ‘Biological Chemistry’ (CHEM 7430 or 7440), ‘Introduction to Statistics in Biology’ (BIMS 8380) or Statistics for Engineers and Scientists (APMA 6430), and ‘Research Ethics’ (BIMS 7100).
By participating in BTP Journal Clubs, you complete ‘Biotechnology Research Seminar’ (BIMS 8191/8192).
The required 2 - 3 month BTP company externship is credited as ‘Biotechnology Industrial Externship’ (BIMS 8193/8194).
More information may be obtained in the BTP Handbook.
