Welcome to the Cell and Molecular Biology Graduate Program!


The Cell and Molecular Biology Graduate Program
is an interdisciplinary program comprised of over 130 faculty from three colleges. The program typically recruits a class of 25 graduate students each year for training in seven different research tracks:

  • Bioinformatics & Computational Biology
  • Cell & Developmental Biology
  • Chemical Biology & Drug Discovery
  • Molecular Genetics
  • Neurobiology
  • Biomolecular Structure and Function
  • Plant Molecular Biology

Each of the tracks provides specialized courses and training for the graduate students beyond the basic core curriculum. All Cell and Molecular Biology graduate students are supported in their first year by fellowships from the Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology. The support from the Institute has allowed the life sciences to dramatically expand the number and quality of graduate students over the last 17 years.

 


 

 

 

Student Spotlight

Tyler Smith 

"My current research in Dr. George Bittner's lab is focused on how the use of polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a nerve repair method to re-join (fuse) severed axons can also limit immune rejection of peripheral nerve allografts by altering or reducing cellular responses to injury in rat models. This question is being investigated using immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, RT-qPCR, retrograde tracing, and transmission electron microscopy. The results of these studies will examine cellular mechanisms that might be responsible for the effectiveness of a novel approach to nerve repair that can reduce or prevent rejection of peripheral nerve allografts and may significantly lessen the need for systemic immunosuppression following surgery."
