Stem Cell Biomanufacturing IGERT

The interdisciplinary Stem Cell Biomanufacturing IGERT program supports new incoming Georgia Tech PhD students for their first two years of graduate school. The program offers a core curriculum in stem cell engineering and bioprocessing coupled with elective tracks in advanced technologies, public policy/ethics or entrepreneurship.

Trainees are afforded opportunities to meet with leading experts in the field who visit as part of the Stem Cell Engineering seminar series, attend biannual stem cell engineering workshops, participate in the Graduate Leadership Program and outreach activities, and interact with representatives from leading companies during the annual Industry Partners Symposium activities and other events.

The Stem Cell Biomanufacturing IGERT provides a great community for graduate students conducting stem cell engineering research at Georgia Tech.  If you are interested in learning more about how to become a trainee or associate of the IGERT program, please contact us.
