FAU/Cleveland Clinic Florida
The collaborative research training agreement between Florida Atlantic University (FAU) and the Cleveland Clinic Foundation (CCF) offers an exceptional opportunity for Ph.D. students to engage in cutting-edge biomedical research. This program is open to highly qualified students enrolled in FAU’s Ph.D. in Integrative Biology or Ph.D. in Chemistry programs.
Through this partnership, selected students will have the opportunity to conduct research at the Cleveland Clinic Florida Research and Innovation Center (FRIC) in Port St. Lucie, with a focus on infectious diseases and the development of novel immunotherapies.
