APPLICATIONS

Prospective graduate students interested in reproductive biology can elect to study with LRB faculty members in the departments of Biochemistry and Biophysics, Cell and Developmental Biology, Cell and Molecular Physiology or Genetics. Students may first contact the LRB faculty member in their specialty of interest. Applications are submitted to the Director of Graduate Studies in the department of the LRB faculty member as well as to the UNC Graduate School. Alternatively, students may select an LRB mentor after starting their graduate program.

Post-doctoral applicants may send their resumes directly to the Director of the LRB, Dr. Frank S. French or to one of the LRB faculty members.

Students and Post-docs may choose to conduct part of their research in the laboratory of an adjunct faculty member or International Collaborator.


RESEARCH SUPPORT / ENVIRONMENT

Several LRB faculty are members of the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center (LCCC) which provides specialized research support/resources at the LCCC Core Facilities. The UNC Medical School also provides many Core Facilities used by LRB members and students. An Affymetrix Gene Array Core is hosted by the Neuroscience Center. The Center for Bioinformatics offers Core facilities as well as consultation and computer support for state-of-the-art genomic and proteomic studies.

The Laboratories for Reproductive Biology exists in a rich environment for collaboration in basic and clinical research at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine at Chapel Hill and in other institutions of the Research Triangle area of North Carolina. The Triangle Consortium for Reproductive Biology (TCRB) has over 200 members. The annual TCRB meeting offers scientific presentations and discussions often leading to opportunities to establish collaborative studies.
