Postdoctoral Research Training

Mentors

The Pediatric Nonmalignant Hematology and Stem Cell Biology Training Program welcomes collaboration among mentors with complementary expertise who may wish to form a Mentor Team to oversee and guide the progress of an applicant. Successful collaborations of Mentor Teams will be featured on this webpage as time goes on, as these collaborations are more and more found to be on the cutting edge of research and teaching in university environments.
