分子，细胞和整合生物科学哲学博士-细胞与发育生物学

分子，细胞和整合生物科学（MCIBS）研究生课程由来自大学公园校园内六所学院和15个基础科学系的120多名教职员工组成。该计划在生物科学的各个领域提供了严格而深入的培训。学生和教职员工相互协作，以了解分子，细胞和有机体水平的正常和疾病过程。进入MCIBS计划的学生在第一学期参加一组通用的课程，同时在自己选择的实验室进行三个研究轮换。在第一学期末，学生选择论文实验室和重点领域。在第二学期，他们一起学习一门课程，同时也开始在自己的重点领域内扩展课程。学生们还将在第二学期开始制定论文项目。
The Cellular and Developmental Biology emphasis area focuses on elucidating the molecular and cellular bases of developmental processes using a translational approach that aims not only to understand fundamental mechanisms of organismal development but also to identify applications to human diseases and well-being. <br><br>Students in this emphasis area, in collaboration with a faculty mentor, conduct original research into basic mechanisms of development, often utilizing animal or plant models to examine animal or human diseases. <br><br>Research and training opportunities are available in broad areas that include control of cell proliferation/differentiation/death, cell signaling and signal transduction, stem cell biology, cell and developmental neurobiology, cell biology of the immune system, regulation of gene expression, and evolutionary developmental biology.
