Eight students per year will receive full tuition, fees, and stipend for the first two years in the PhD Program. During the first year, students will rotate in 3 labs (2 months each), before selecting a mentor at Emory or GA Tech. All students also will select a co-mentor for interdisciplinary and translationally oriented study.
Eligible Applicants
CBT@EmTech trainees will be recruited from an applicant pool of eligible students from the Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) at Georgia Tech and Emory and the Interdisciplinary Bioengineering (BioE) Graduate Program at Georgia Tech. BioE graduate students come from various home Departments, including Electrical and Computer and Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Tech and Departments of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Chemistry at Emory.
Trainee Responsibilities
All the trainees will do lab rotations in the first year to select a mentor and co-mentor, one from medicine/biology and the other in engineering/data science, or vice versa, or one from biology/engineering/data science and the other from medicine. This will train and encourage our students to undertake multidisciplinary, collaborative, and translational research. Our trainees will take 1) foundational courses in biosciences, engineering, and data science, 2) integrative biomedical engineering courses, 3) ethics and diversity training, 4) communication and professional development, and 5) the Advanced Seminars in Cardiovascular Biomechanics and Medicine class that include clinical observations.
