Molecular Medicine, Doctoral/PhD

Our Molecular Medicine Program is an interdisciplinary ‘umbrella’ program of study leading to a PhD degree. There are three different interactive research tracks, providing for unique interdisciplinary research and graduate training experiences, combined with cutting-edge technologies, that are ideally suited for developing scientists of the post-genomic era. The over 170 faculty in this graduate program are leaders in their respective research areas and reside in various departments and Organized Research Centers within the School of Medicine and Dental School, the Institute for Genomic Sciences (IGS), the Institute of Human Virology (IHV), the Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center, and the Center for Vascular and Inflammatory Diseases (CVID). Faculty expertise spans a continuum from basic to translational research through to clinical research in a wide range of disciplines including cancer biology, cardiovascular and renal biology, stem cells, functional genomics and genetics, membrane biology, muscle biology, neuroscience and neurotoxicology, reproduction, and vascular biology.
