Ohio Eminent Scholar Karin Musier-Forsyth, professor of chemistry and biochemistry; and Michael Ibba, professor of microbiology, successfully competed for a National Institutes of Health grant that will establish the new Cellular, Molecular, and Biochemical Sciences Program (CMBP) at Ohio State.
This specialized training program is designed to attract top-tier graduate students; prepare them for life-sciences research careers in academia, government or industry; and advance research pursuits in areas related to human health, physiology and disease.
Ibba and Musier-Forsyth will co-direct the program, supported by an estimated $4 million budget in federal and university funds, $1 million of which will provide graduate student stipends for the first five years of the program.
