The Leadership Excellence Across Practice and Sciences (LEAPS) program provides an interdisciplinary training in soil and plant health through microbiomes for a team of graduates students. LEAPS fellows will gain a deep scientific knowledge of "omics" technologies, molecular biology, metadata analysis, modelling and machine learning, and be able to practice the understanding of plant biology, microbiology and agricultural management in commercial fields.
Each student will bring complementary expertise to be shared with each other and enhance the multidisciplinary nature of our training activities. Selected LEAPS fellows will have a customized academic advising, written mentoring guidelines, annual performance evaluations, and receive professional development training (https://grad.ucdavis.edu/professional-development) with goal of mastering the core principles of the LEAPS program.
