The National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded Northwestern's Center for Physical Genomics and Engineering a prestigious T32 grant to establish the Physical Genomics Training Program (PGTP), which provides stipend, tuition and other support for PhD students who are accepted into the program. The PGTP is the first physical genomics-based graduate training program in the United States. On September 4, graduate trainees Delan Hao, Karla Medina and Esther Yoon will share exciting insights from their cutting-edge research projects, both in person at Ford Hive #2350 on Evanston campus, and live on Zoom. Registration is free, but required here.

The mission of the PGTP is to build a diverse workforce with a wide breadth of scientific knowledge and engineering skills that is capable of working effectively and inclusively with multiple teams of researchers to address the complex, transdisciplinary questions of the emerging new discipline of physical genomics and its application, chromatin engineering. The PGTP will focus on developing the ability to converge knowledge, techniques, and expertise from multiple fields and across multiple stakeholders, including those in the academic, industry, and public sectors.
