The Associates. There are over Two Hundred associates who participate as consultants and instructors for our training programs. Each scientist is an active researcher in his/her area of expertise and possesses excellent communication skills. Each associate prepares for each course a selected reading list, appropriate figures, and other hand-outs to complement their lectures. Furthermore, they serve as resource persons for the trainees after the course has ended, willingly addressing questions related to their presentation. The low turnover rate of our Associates pool ensures experience and continuity.
