The work of the Training and Mentoring Portfolio is focused on implementing high-quality, impactful programs that expands the intellectual and technical purview of early and mid-career researchers and students. The Portfolio promotes opportunities for our emerging scientists to develop their competencies within the Centre, expand their professional networks, gain scientific independence, and become our next generation of leaders in interdisciplinary peptide and protein science. The focus on interdisciplinary training will facilitate access to rapidly emerging, ground-breaking techniques as they arise throughout the lifetime of the Centre. This will enable CIPPS to be dynamic and to remain at the forefront of research in peptide and protein science.
Portfolio Leader: Max Cryle
