Molecular Cell and Developmental Biology Faculty Research Undergraduate Studies Graduate Studies Postdoctoral Research Seminars People School of Biological Sciences University of Texas Austin Faculty in the Section of Molecular Cell and Developmental Biology study many aspects of cellular mechanisms, interactions and development, using a wide range of experimental techniques and organisms. Much of the research is performed by students and postdoctoral fellows. Graduate students enroll in an appropriate graduate program, such as Cellular and Molecular Biology or Plant Biology, and join one of the labs for their graduate research.
Postdoctoral fellows apply directly to individual labs.
Opportunities are also available for undergraduate students to undertake research projects in faculty labs. Molecular Cell and Developmental Biology is one of four Sections of the School of Biological Sciences at The University of Texas at Austin. Many MCDB faculty are affiliated with the Institute for Cellular and Molecular Biology, an interdepartmental initiative to strengthen modern biology at the Universityof Texas.
