Overview
The interdisciplinary Cell & Molecular Biology graduate program comprises a community of graduate students, faculty, and staff with diverse experiences and interests. We share a common goal of preparing the next generation of scientific leaders to make significant contributions in our field. We accomplish this by promoting a rigorous interdisciplinary curriculum, and an inclusive, supportive, and collaborative culture.
The Cancer Biology specialization includes 5CR of additional coursework and is ideal for those who want to explore research in basic mechanisms of cancer, animal models of cancer, cancer immunology, and therapeutics.
