Please contact the faculty member listed with each program for specific details. In some cases M.D.-Ph. D. students may pursue doctoral studies in other graduate programs not listed here. Back to Top of Page a. Cell Biology and Anatomy A broad range of research clusters are available for training in the Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy. These include cancer biology, cell biology, developmental biology, endocrinology, molecular genetics, and neurobiology.
Students have considerable flexibility in designing an individual program of study.
Required course work is minimal, and only one semester of teaching is required. MCAT scores will be considered in lieu of GREs. The Departments of Biochemistry and Molecular and Cellular Biology offer a joint Ph.D. program. Over 50 faculty members participate in the BMCB Graduate Program which, through joint appointments in Biochemistry or Molecular and Cellular Biology, represent an additional 12 university departments or interdisciplinary programs. The goal of the program is to help students develop critical experimental and analytical skills, along with superior abilities in oral and written communication, such that they are prepared for a range of careers in science.
