Chemical Biology training at NYU aims to prepare students to become productive members of the biomedical work force who are conversant in chemistry and biology. In addition to contributing new knowledge to their field of study, students will have the opportunity to participate in internships to gauge interest in a variety of possible careers following graduate school. These areas span the biotechnology arena and include phamaceutical companies, scientific publishing groups, government agencies, and capital ventures. The NYU Chemical Biology Consortium has established relationships with several New York City area industries to facilitate these opportunities
