Graduate Schools

I keep getting asked what graduate schools I am looking into applying for. When asked, of course I cannot remember them all! So in attempts to update my family/friends/keep myself organized, below are the graduate schools that are on my list:

• University of Washington (Department of Bioengineering)
• Washington State University (Pharmacology & Toxicology)
• University of Utah (Pharmaceutics and Pharmaceutical Chemistry)
• Northeastern University (Pharmaceutics and Drug Delivery Systems)
• University of California-San Francisco (Pharmaceutical Sciences and Pharmacogenetics)
  
• University of California-Irvine (Bioengineering)
• University of Texas-Austin (Bioengineering)
• Case Western Reserve University (Bioengineering)
• Arizona State University (Bioengineering)
• University of Maryland (Bioengineering)
  

I am looking for labs/research that focuses on drug delivery systems (using polymeric cores). Preferably I would like to study auto-immune diseases or cancer. However, I am also interested in the foreign body response (like what happens when we put things in our body). Hence, with these interests, the programs I am applying for are diverse.

I apply for these programs this fall and will find out Spring 2009, whether or not I have been accepted. ....So here is hoping!
