Brown-MBL Graduate Program in <strong>Biological</strong><br />
and environmental sciences<br />
One of the most significant events in the MBL’s recent history is the creation<br />
of our joint Ph.D. program with Brown University. The Brown-MBL Graduate<br />
Program in <strong>Biological</strong> and Environmental Sciences is the perfect marriage of<br />
the complementary strengths of Brown and the MBL. The program offers<br />
students research opportunities in areas such as astrobiology; biological<br />
and environmental physics; cell and developmental biology; ecology and<br />
evolutionary biology; ecosystems science; environmental change; genetics,<br />
genomics, and proteomics; global infectious diseases; immunology and<br />
pathology; molecular biology and biochemistry; phyletics; and physiology.<br />
Sixteen Ph.D. candidates are currently enrolled in the joint program. In<br />
2007, five new first-year graduate students were matriculated, April Shiflett<br />
made history as the program’s first graduate, and fellow student Justin<br />
Widener defended his doctoral thesis. Also in 2007 Marselle Alexander-<br />
Ozinskas completed the program with a Master’s degree.<br />
Now in its fourth year, the program is successfully promoting cooperation<br />
among researchers and making it possible for students to work with<br />
investigators and faculty at both institutions. Brown-MBL faculty<br />
partnerships continued to flourish in 2007, with new paths for collaborative<br />
research created between a wide variety of Brown departments and all of<br />
the major research centers at the MBL. In 2007, 19 MBL scientists held joint<br />
faculty appointments at Brown, while five Brown faculty members held MBL<br />
appointments. We thank Ecosystems Center co-director Jerry Melillo who<br />
served as interim MBL liaison to the Brown-MBL program in 2007 while the<br />
MBL conducted a search for a new Chief Academic and Scientific Officer.<br />
