Training Program in Molecular Metabolism (MMTP) 

Housed in the Department of Molecular Metabolism at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, the Training Program in Molecular Metabolism (MMTP) enlists faculty from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Harvard Medical School to provide didactic and research opportunities to predoctoral students interested in a research career in molecular metabolism. The program prepares trainees to apply cutting edge multi-omic, genetic, and physiological methods to advance our understanding of areas including metabolic health and diseases such as diabetes; gastrointestinal health, including the role of the microbiome; inflammatory and immune effects on health; obesity; and the role of factors such as aging or disease state on metabolic processes. 

Students enrolled in the PhD in Biological Sciences in Public Health (BPH) program will be considered for participation in MMTP.
