Participating Departments and Program Requirements

The Cell & Molecular Biology Training Program is supported by a grant from the National Institutes of Health. The program promotes interdisciplinary research training for students interested in biochemical or molecular problems in cell science, genetics, physiology, biophysics, and microbiology. Although the student's experience is interdisciplinary, admission is made through an individual department and degrees are awarded by the sponsoring unit. These departments involve primarily:

Animal Sciences Biochemistry Cell & Developmental Biology Chemical Engineering Chemistry Entomology Food Science & Human Nutrition Microbiology Molecular & Integrative Physiology Plant Biology Veterinary Biosciences Veterinary Pathobiology

Sponsoring units submit candidates for admission into the cell and molecular biology training program. Students are selected on a competitive basis. Minority students are particularly encouraged to apply.

The trainee's stipend is equivalent to top offers made to other incoming students. Students participate in all training grant-sponsored activities throughout their studies.

The trainee has full flexibility to train in any laboratory of training faculty. During the first year, each trainee must complete a minimum of three laboratory rotations (at least four weeks each), one of which must be outside of the sponsoring unit.

Trainees present their research at the program's annual research symposium. They organize and attend a monthly seminar series in which distinguished national and international scientists are invited to the University to present their work and meet with trainees. Finally, trainees participate in an informal, monthly get-together that provides an opportunity for both social and scientific exchange.
