The program is flexible, to match the individual needs and interests of each student, yet sufficiently broad in scope to cover the major areas of contemporary biomedical research. Reasoning, data analysis, and hands-on laboratory research are vigorously emphasized at all stages in the program. In addition to coursework during the first year, students will participate in four research rotations through laboratories of their choice as part of BIOCH 207 in order to help them decide on a topic and mentor for their dissertation training. During the second and third year, students enroll in several elective advanced topics courses tailored to their specific needs and interests. Students benefit from close interactions and collaborations between colleagues with strengths in cell biology, signaling, and structural biochemistry, in utilizing interdisciplinary approaches to answer outstanding questions in biology. Interests include the enzymology of cell regulatory processes including DNA repair and targeted intracellular protein degradation; cell division and the cytoskeleton; gene promoter and expression analysis; the proteomics of normal and pathological metabolic regulation; and gene expression analysis of cardiac development and the therapeutic application of cardiac stem cells. The Department offers the PhD degree alone and in combination as a MD/PhD. The Program for obtaining the PhD can be tailored to the requirements of each individual student.     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: GMAT Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: English Proficiency: Yes Research Competency: Yes Clinical Internship: Yes   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition: 0  Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time:   # of Students Enrolled Part Time:   Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit:   Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:   Average Work Experience: Less than 1 Year  Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year:   Placement Percentage:   Historically Black: No   Religious Affiliation:
