Postdoctoral Training

postdoc.jpg The continuous training of our Postdoctoral fellows is key to advancing La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology's research focus, and furthering the talent pool in the biomedical research field in San Diego and beyond.  Postdoctoral training is a time when new scientists ripen their skills and methods before striking out on their own as independent researchers.  At the La Jolla Institute, the intense collaboration between our faculty members and their post-docs is an unparalleled experience and opportunity.  Post-docs participate in weekly seminars to discuss their research path and findings, and engage in daily discussions and laboratory training.  While not yet a formalized curriculum, our post-docs excel through the variety of training opportunities provided via grant writing and development, presentation skills, seminar preparation and conferences.  

Our alumni are some of the leaders in the field of immunology, and continue their collaboration long after they have left the Institute.  According to one alumnus, "I am proud to be associated with [the La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology], which was so instrumental in helping launch not only my own career, but those of many other immunologists."
