Graduate Programs

Jessica Plavicki is a trainer for the following graduate programs: Pathobioloby, Molecular Biology, Cell Biology & Biochemistry (MCB) , and Neuroscience.

Pathobiology

"Graduate study in pathobiology at Brown University brings together scholars from basic science and clinical departments in a wide range of research activities relevant to understanding the initiation, progression, and resolution of human disease."

Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Biochemistry (MCB)

"The Department is devoted to cutting-edge research that addresses basic questions in biology, including the control of gene expression, cell fate determination, protein synthesis, the genetics of behavior, control of the cell cycle, and signaling pathways within the cell."

Neuroscience

"The Neuroscience Graduate Program promotes interdisciplinary research that crosses traditional disciplinary and departmental boundaries, while providing a strong foundation in the core concepts of neuroscience. Research in the program employs an impressive array of techniques and encompasses multiple levels of investigation from genes, molecules, and cells to neural networks, systems, and behavior."

Teaching Opportunities at Brown University

"Developing teaching and presentation skills are measures of your development, whether you aim to teach, conduct research, or be a leader at a federal agency, a museum, or think tank. The Sheridan Center is an essential resource, dedicated to helping graduate students communicate to diverse audiences. The Instructional Development Project, part of Computing and Information Services, is another resource for effective teaching and learning at Brown.

Doctoral candidates can serve as teaching assistants, while limited teaching opportunities are available to master’s students as MTAs. Doctoral candidates can gain experience teaching in other settings through the opportunities listed below."
