A total of 56 students — representing 19 states — have been interviewed and accepted for enrollment in the fall. More than 350 applications were submitted for consideration for the inaugural class. ASU's Biosciences Institute has state-of-the-art facilities in plant genetic engineering, DNA and protein analyses, mammalian cell culture, microscopy, and analytical support that provide significant resources to faculty, students and industry. The institute's facilities enable a broad spectrum of research activities that range from direct manipulations at the DNA and single-cell level to large-scale bioproduction and assessment of medically active compounds. |
