Hi.
All these are fully funded. I did my masters in Zoology and I had a course of entomology in my last year. I then was a trainee at a lab that worked on drug discovery and gained experience on mice models and cell culture. I mailed a few professors and one of them from ASU replied back saying he can take me in a nutritional science course however his lab works on fruit fly, which as insect I worked on in my dissertation.
I applied in TAMU for their entomology course for the same reason that I had expertise on it. I then got a reply from an email that I sent to a professor in LSU who works in biomed, and he also works on fruitfly.
I wanted to jump from Zoology to biomed and even though the professor at ASU also worked on similar topic in his lab, the course is different.
