IGERT
Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT). The NanoBio IGERT Fellowship in Physical and Biomolecular Foundations for Developing Nanoprobes for Biology at Johns Hopkins University is an exciting graduate training program based at the Institute for NanoBioTechnology and funded by the National Science Foundation. Students learn to design and develop nanoprobes, such as functionalized nanoparticles and lab-on-a-chip technologies, to provide a glimpse into the biological processes of living cells.
- Create nanoprobes ranging from nanoparticles to lab-on-a-chip devices to study biological systems.
- View cells and probes in physical, materials, and biological terms.
- Earn a degree from a participating doctoral program.
- Work with highly motivated students across disciplines and departments.
- Receive a yearly stipend and full tuition support.
- Be part of a groundbreaking educational experience at the crossroads of disciplines.

Current Students
Tommy Tong – When I found out about the IGERT program, I felt very excited about enrolling. I look forward to learn in depth the applied biological principles and biolaboratory techniques used. What I want to get out of this program is to become an effective, independent researcher and leader.
