JKH--Yeah, just get in touch with one of the Micro or Cellular faculty. You might be able to find a mentor in that field (they have some excellent, highly regarded researchers). Best of luck!

So, I had my third and final PhD/DO interview at TCOM today (the first two were in July). I spoke with a professor-department head/chair from the Neuroscience/Pharmacology department. Anyway, it was very reassuring and they have brand new labs. The program is about 3 years in addition to your 4 years in medical school. The three years are right smack dab in the middle (after year 2). I could find out as early as October 15th or as late as February 15th (yuck!).

Good luck!

Snowhat,
I am not sure your list included the two grants below. From what our Dean is telling us, we are supposed to hit over $27 million in research grants this year, the majority is NIH funded. I am in the DO program, not the DO/Ph.D program, but some of the classmates I have are, and they are top notch. Good luck with your application to TCOM. You'll love it here. (Although the medical school does work our behinds off.)

Yeah, I am sure I missed some. Dr. Singh said something like TCOM is #6 in the country or something for per faculty grant funding? Something really amazing. Yeah, I really like TCOM and hope I will get some good news soon!
