There's total flexibility. Once the students arrive here, they get the opportunity to rotate in three different laboratories. And many of them will choose to do their laboratory rotations in three very different areas to really get a taste of everything the institution has to offer.

I interact with pretty much all the students who come into the graduate program. And often you can see students kind of come in with a preconception of what they want to do, and then gravitate, you know, fairly quickly to something else. So that's the advantage of the program, is that itdoesn't matter what you committed to. Initially, you're allowed to change as you learn about the place.

Our open program offers more than 16 tracks. They fall under several major clusters. One is the basics Cell Biology cluster, another one's Microbiology and Immunology, Neuroscience and Physiology, and Mechanisms Disease, that include Cancer Biology. And finally, the growing cluster is Quantitative Biology that includes Bio Physics, Bio Material Science, Computational Biology.
