Dr. Briscoe actively engages in one-on-one teaching of trainees in the laboratory. When training in the laboratory, research fellows do hands-on laboratory work and interact with one another extensively. We have found that our "team approach" to training enables all trainees to develop a broad expertise in immunology. We believe that interactions among research fellows from different backgrounds (Undergraduate, and graduate M.D. or/and Ph.D students) helps to ensure the high quality of research. Furthermore, Dr Briscoe encourages everyone in the laboratory to participate at National Meetings and to compete for research training awards and grants. A summary of the awards received by Dr Briscoe's trainee's are listed below.
