Trainee Leadership Council

The Trainee Leadership Council (TLC) formed to involve CELL-MET students in the guiding their collaborative projects across the universities. Francisco Sanchez (BU), Azmal Chowdhury (FIU), and John Sayut (U Michigan) are the TLC Leads. In addition to advocating for the needs of the CELL-MET trainee community, TLC members play a critical role in development and implementation of outreach, retreat, and professional development activities for the entire community.
