The University of Texas Houston Medical School offers interdisciplinary training in the areas of cell and regulatory biology. The goal of this program is to provide students with a broad understanding of the structures and essential processes carried out by eukaryotic cells, with particular emphasis on the regulatory signals that orchestrate their activities. A wide range of research opportunities will expose students to experimental approaches that utilize biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, gene transfection, patch clamp measurements, immunofluorescence, confocal microscopy, electron microscopy, creation of transgenic animals, and determination of protein structure. Faculty associated with the program are grouped below according to their research interests. General information about the program can be obtained by clicking on the Cell and Regulatory Biology link under Graduate Programs on the left of the screen.
All students receive full stipends throughout their training.
