Its graduate programme has been temporarily suspended. Members of the graduate faculty of the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology do research directed towards understanding the fundamental processes controlling structure, growth, development, and function and range from the molecular through cellular to the clinical level. Research programmes that cut across traditional disciplinary lines are encouraged. Areas of Study Research in the department addresses the fundamental mechanisms of cellular interactions during growth and differentiation in both normal and pathological states.
Many research programs are of clinical interest.
The Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology no longer offers programs leading to M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees, however, please contact those faculty members whose research you are interested in for further information. The Department of Anatomy and cell Biology is participating in the Collaborative Program in Neuroscience and the Collaborative Ph.D. Program in Developmental Biology. There are also strong links with the Institute of Medical Science and numerous interactions with the affiliated teaching hospitals and their Research Institutes. The departments research activities are particularly strong in the areas of cell and developmental biology, cellular biochemistry and biophysics, hematology and neurobiology. Several courses are offered in these areas.
