The Interdisciplinary Program in Biomedical Sciences is committed to preparing graduate students for research careers in the 21st century through an integrated approach to cutting-edge scientific problems. The core curriculum provides a strong foundation in molecular and cell biology, biochemistry, cell signaling and genetics. Student perform four laboratory rotations with faculty drawn from five departments, gaining insight into a breadth of research topics and experimental approaches. The goal is to guide students from learning what is known to posing insightful questions about what is not known – and to give them the tools to address these questions with rigor and creativity.
