Molecular Biology

Graduate training in Molecular Biology is available in the GSBS Programs listed below. The Program descriptions provide information on specific research opportunities in the area of Molecular Biology as well as the research interests of the Program Faculty:

• Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
• Cancer Biology
• Cell and Regulatory Biology
• Environmental and Molecular Carcinogenesis
• Genes and Development
• Human and Molecular Genetics
• Immunology
• Microbiology and Molecular Genetics

• Virology and Gene Therapy

In GSBS, students may affiliate with any Program at any time in their first two years of study. Alternatively, students may develop their own tailor-made program through the Interdisciplinary Studies option. Additional faculty who offer individual, interdisciplinary training in Molecular Biology may be identified by using keywords and our Search Engine.

Financial aid, in the form of Graduate Research Assistantships, is made available to first year Ph.D. students by GSBS, particular Programs, and Individual faculty members. Following the first year, financial assistance is provided through training grants, research grants, and a large number of scholarships and fellowships.

A wide variety of factors (including its faculty, programmatic and curricular flexibility, financial aid package, facilities, and location) have led to a high ranking of GSBS in several surveys of graduate programs and research funding.
