Graduate Education
CCIL-Administered Programs
Tissue Microenvironment Training Program
The Tissue Microenvironment (TiME) Training Program is a university-wide training program for graduate students, supported by a T32 grant from the National Institutes of Health. Tissue microenvironments are critical to advancing biomedical science and healthcare, from regenerative medicine to cancer burden management.
CCIL-Partnered T32 Programs
Chemistry-Biology Interface Training T32 Program
The Chemistry-Biology Interface (CBI) program supports research teams working at this important scientific interface and positions to make major advances in biology and medicine. Teams are comprised of scientists from many backgrounds, including chemical biologists, biochemists, molecular biologists, organic chemists, and structural biologists.
Toxicology and Environmental Health Training T32 Training Program
The University of Illinois’ Research Training Program in Toxicology and Environmental Health is a part of the larger, campus-wide Interdisciplinary Environmental Toxicology Program (IETP), which provides toxicology training to students and postdoctoral fellows trained in basic sciences such as endocrinology and reproductive biology. Our program is ideal for students who are interested in applying their basic knowledge in four areas of toxicological research: reproductive/endocrine toxicology, neurotoxicology, nutritional toxicology, and nanotoxicology.
CCIL-Partnered Summer Schools
Center for Label-Free Imaging and Multiscale Biophotonics Summer School
The Biophotonics Summer School is an intensive program exploring the principles of biophotonics, investigative technologies, and current research in label-free imaging. The program features lectures and discussions covering quantitative phase imaging, chemical imaging and spectroscopy, optical coherence tomography, nonlinear optical imaging, clinical and in vivo imaging, and computational imaging.
Center for Quantitative Cell Biology Summer School
The QCB Summer School offers graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and researchers in physics, biophysics, chemical and life sciences, and engineering an opportunity to expand their research skills in quantitative methods for studying and modelling cells. The Program features lectures, mini-courses, and hands-on training in experimental and computational techniques
