Cell and Molecular Biology Training Program
Cell and Molecular Biology Training Program
We seek to train the next generation of researchers in cell and molecular biology with deep understanding of core disciplines and ability to plan important, incisive research and execute their plans with appropriate technology and methodology, from the classic to the cutting edge.
How to join Apply via one of the following Graduate Options: Biology, BMB, Chemistry, BioEngineering, GeoBiology, Computer Science.
Current Trainees (under construction)
Requirements Our training activities comprise eight main components described in detail below this overview:
1) each student’s individual research program, guided by one or more faculty members and carried out within a group of other students and postdoctoral fellows having related interests;
2) a set of courses comprising an introduction to method and logic in molecular and cell biology (Bi250a); a graduate seminar class in molecular and cell biology (Bi253); a new course in bioinformatics and data analysis (Bi254); a new course in scientific writing (Bi255); three courses from a menu of relevant course.
3) option-specific preparation for qualifying or candidacy examinations,
4) an extensive program of formal and informal seminars and research meetings,
5) a course and discussion in responsible conduct of research (Bi252),
6) a winter term research seminar during which students present their own work and discuss that of other students,
7) yearly meetings with a thesis committee to provide an update on progress towards the Ph.D. degree, and
8) experience in teaching through service as a teaching assistant.
