The interdisciplinary graduate program in Cellular & Molecular Biosciences (CMB) carries out recruitment and admissions and provides the first-year curriculum for graduate students who will subsequently enter specialized Ph.D. programs in any of the seven participating academic departments: Biological Chemistry; Developmental & Cell Biology; Microbiology & Molecular Genetics; Molecular Biology & Biochemistry; Pathology and Laboratory Medicine; Physiology & Biophysics The CMB program offers an integrated series of rigorous academic core courses during the first year in order to establish a foundation of knowledge in the relevant disciplines, as well as training in teaching methods and in the responsible conduct of research. CMB also provides opportunities for research rotations in at least two of the laboratories run by more than 145 faculty members participating in the program. During the first year, each student becomes associated with a specialized research area (options listed in the menu bar to the right) and begins participating in research, elective courses, and seminars in appropriate areas. The Masters in Biological Sciences is an option on the path to a PhD, but we do not have a specific MS program
