Research Preceptors
MBP research preceptors are faculty members of Northwestern University or its affiliates and have research interests in basic, applied and clinical biotechnology. They have appointments in one or several of Northwestern University’s academic departments/units including: Biochemistry, Molecular Biology & Cell Biology; Biomedical Engineering; Chemical & Biological Engineering; Falk Center for Molecular Therapeutics; Material Science & Engineering; Neurobiology & Physiology; Feinberg School of Medicine; Evanston Northwestern Healthcare Hospital (ENH); Evanston Northwestern Healthcare Research Institute (ENHRI), and the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University. The MBP currently has twenty research preceptors and this pool is expanding every year. Given below is a list of research preceptors.
