Options include Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, Cell Biology and Molecular Physiology, Cellular and Molecular Pathology, Human Genetics, Immunology, Molecular Pharmacology, Molecular Toxicology, Molecular Virology and Microbiology, and Neurobiology. Each program is described in detail later in this brochure. Since many faculty belong to more than one program, choosing a particular faculty mentor often allows a choice of research programs. The first semester's core course is followed by increasingly specialized coursework in the program the student has chosen. Background knowledge particular to the student's chosen field is presented, and courses are largely didactic.
Students elect advanced courses examining contemporary problems and the current literature.
All students take courses in statistics, data analysis, and research ethics as well as participate in journal club and seminar programs. All Rights Reserved.
