Overview

BioTrain prides itself on offering not only great work experience in the field of biotechnology, but also on the associated weekly professional development series. This summer, BioTrain interns will experience a wide variety of professional development as it relates to working in a scientific field.

Professional development is designed to offer training in professional behavior and expectations specific to the scientific fields. In addition, it provides a structure for BioTrain interns to build professional relationships with HudsonAlpha staff, BioTrain administration and, most importantly, each other.
