The Graduate Program in Biophysical Sciences is proud to be a recipient of an Interfaces Award for Interdisciplinary Graduate Education. The HHMI-NIBIB Interfaces Initiative marks the first collaboration between the National Institutes of Health and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute - Two pillars of biomedical research funding in the United States. The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and BioEngineering is the participating institute.
The University of Chicago enjoys a second connection with the HHMI. Students in the Janelia Farms Graduate Program can come to The UofC for their first year coursework.
