VISITING INVESTIGATORS

Postdoctoral fellows and advanced graduate students are welcome at the CDP, along with professorial investigators. The Program also hosts sabbatical visitors.

TRAINING & WORKSHOPS

Training to investigators is offered in several capacities.

• Postdoc, graduate students & new visitors: Length of stay is typically 1-2 months. Training is offered in all aspects of instrumentation and techniques, and researchers receive ongoing support from staff scientists.
• Returning visitors: Investigators may be conversant with basic methodology but will receive updates on techniques and be able to apply newer systems to the biological problem. Scientific input & discussion with staff scientists is always available.
• Platforms specifically designed for the interest of a particular researcher: In this case, platforms are built at the CDP, researchers visit the Center for training and ultimately a duplicate platform is installed at the respective laboratories.

* The Program operates year round and accepts visitors on an ongoing basis.
