None needed, most come with experimental backgrounds (Biology, Biochemistry) or computational (Computer Science, etc), ideal candidate have both. Students rotate through three labs their first year before selecting a thesis lab. Funding is provided by the department during this time.12/1Brian Giebel: bgiebel@uw.eduBrian Koepnick: koepnick@uw.edu

The MolE PhD program does not require students to have a degree in a particular discipline but does require the student hold a BS or BA degree from an engineering or natural sciences program. The MolE PhD program accepts students with diverse backgrounds in engineering, science, or medicine.International and domestic students are funded for the first 3 academic quarters by the MolES Institute and thereafter by the student’s Principal Investigator (PI).12/15Paul Neubert, Counseling Services Coordinator, 206-221-6542, pneubert@uw.edu.Brian Koepnick: koepnick@uw.edu
