Graduate students

When you enroll in the graduate program at Washington State University, you become part of a team of students, faculty, and staff dedicated to the scientific and intellectual pursuit of knowledge. When you join the Dhingra lab you can enroll in the Horticulture or the interdisciplinary Molecular Plant Sciences (MPS) graduate programs. Several of the current and past graduate students are  recipients of the NIH Protein Biotechnology Training Fellowship and the ARCS Fellowship.
