The graduate program in Cell and Molecular Biology (CMB) is designed to prepare students for careers in basic or applied research. Two hallmarks of the program are its interdisciplinary nature and the close contact that is maintained between faculty and students. The 70+ members of the program represent a cross section of research from nine departments: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Cellular and Molecular Physiology, Medicine, Microbiology and Immunology, Neural and Behavioral Sciences, Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation, Pathology, Pediatrics, and Pharmacology. Graduate students benefit from the diverse base of training and research opportunities provided by the faculty.
