We emphasize personalized instruction. Each student works closely with at least one faculty member on his or her thesis project. Furthermore, our classes are small and highlight student participation and faculty-student interaction. Each semester we offer a graduate seminar course that is taught by at least three professors. Each seminar course focuses on an important topic in cellular or molecular biology and emphasizes the analysis of current literature in the selected area.
Students learn both lectures by faculty and student-led discussions of research articles.
The Cytoskeleton and Extracellular Matrix Molecular Models to Design Experiments in Molecular Biology. The cell and molecular faculty encourages prospective graduate students to contact individual faculty members to explore the research opportunities for Master's degree and Ph.D. research. Nucleic acid structure and function. Immune responses in mammals to parasites. Role of plant hormone transport in plant growth and development.
