CCR/JHU Master of Science in Biotechnology Concentration in Molecular Targets And Drug Discovery Technologies

Dear Fellows,
    This site is designed to provide you with information on the various projects and mentors available to you for rotations. You will also find contact information for each of the potential mentors who have submitted projects as part of the joint NCI/ JHU program. We have provided a synopsis of the research project and a specific fellow research plan put forward by the prospective mentor. You have until the end of August to view these projects at which time you will be required to supply Drs. Wiest and Moody with a list of the four laboratories you wish to rotate through, each for one week. You will be expected to do at least one rotation on the Frederick campus. After your four rotations, you will rank the laboratories and provide that list to Drs. Wiest and Moody.  Your choices will be matched with the mentors and the selection will be made for the laboratory in which you will pursue your masters at Johns Hopkins University. We hope that this site will provide you with the necessary information with which to make your decision.
