Graduate Training
The Department offers graduate training with emphasis on research in the areas of Cell Biology, Molecular Biology and Neuroscience. Graduates are well prepared for careers in research and teaching in academic and biotechnology industries. A stimulating environment for graduate training exists with students interacting closely with faculty, postdoctoral fellows and other students within the department. Interaction is encouraged between laboratories through formal collaborations and informal get-togethers. In addition, seminar and elective courses dealing with current research topics are offered (see below course listing).
Students select a departmental faculty member as mentor after completing the first year of graduate study within the Interdisciplinary Core Program in Molecular and Cellular Biology or Neuroscience. The MD/PhD students begin graduate study after completing the first two years of Medical School.
