Students gain advanced knowledge of biochemistry; molecular biology; cell and developmental biology; as well as interdisciplinary approaches that combine biology, genetics, chemistry, physics, engineering, math and/or computational approaches. Students graduate with the qualitative and quantitative skills necessary for professional research and teaching in fundamental biological problems at the organismal, cellular and molecular levels.

This program is a result of the consolidation of the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Group, and the Cell and Developmental Biology Group.

It is against program policy to admit students that cannot be supported; therefore it is unlikely the program will offer admission to more than one or two international applicants. Please consider these facts carefully before you commit to the application process.

This program is an interdisciplinary Graduate Group.
