博士 生物学专业的博士学位以生物学科学和相关生物技术的跨学科综合为研究重点。该计划利用多个部门的教职员工力量，旨在为有兴趣在学术界，行业和临床环境中进行研究的学生提供服务。该计划的跨学科组成旨在培养毕业生，他们将能够整合多个学科的优势来解决生物学问题。博士 生物学课程的生物学重点是对生物科学和相关生物技术的跨学科综合。除了集中精力进行研究之外，该计划还强调了相关课程工作的重要性。所有学生都必须完成与该课程的跨学科性质相关的一系列核心课程。在选择选修课程之前，学生必须选择（1）生态，进化和环境生物学（E3B
The Ph.D. in Biology program has as its intellectual focus an interdisciplinary synthesis of the biological sciences and related biotechnology. In addition to a vigorous research concentration, the program emphasizes the importance of relevant coursework. All students are required to complete a series of core courses related to the interdisciplinary nature of the program. Before selecting electives, students must choose a concentration (1) Ecology, Evolution, and Environmental Biology (E3B), (2) Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology (MCD), or (3) Molecular Biophysics. The cornerstone of the program is the student's research dissertation. Each dissertation is expected to be a significant scientific contribution based on independent and original research, leading to publications in national/international peer-reviewed journals.<br>All students are required to complete a series of core courses related to the interdisciplinary nature of the program (see Degree Requirements). The full interdisciplinary curriculum is tailored to each student with advanced courses in Biological Sciences as well as Bioinformatics and Genomics, Nanoscale Science, Chemistry, Biophysics, Engineering, Geography and Earth Sciences, Kinesiology, Epidemiology, and Health Sciences. The interdisciplinary program allows students to choose a mentor from a large cohort of Professors across departments and Carolinas Medical Centers. Students choose either the Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology (MCD) concentration or the Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Biology (E3B) concentration.<br>The cornerstone of the doctoral program is the dissertation research. Each dissertation is expected to be a significant scientific contribution based on independent and original research, resulting in at least two publications in national/international peer-reviewed journals by the time of the dissertation defense.
