生物学哲学博士-细胞和分子生物学

生物与生物化学系提供研究计划，并获得生物学博士学位。学生成功完成以下要求后，将获得哲学博士学位（PhD）。学生可以通过完成至少54个批准的学分，满意地完成实验室轮换和正式的研究生水平的课程要求（包括研讨会），参加至少六个学分的学位论文课程以及完成并捍卫该论文可接受的学位论文来满足学位要求委员会。所有学生必须连续全日制报名，直到完成学位要求为止。
Cellular and molecular mechanisms lie at the heart of many biological processes, and the Division of Cell and Molecular Biology encompasses a diverse range of research programs. There are two major areas of emphasis within the division. The Neurobiology and Physiology group incorporates faculty with interests in cellular and molecular neurobiology, cellular and organismal physiology, and animal behavior. Studies carried out by labs in this group generally integrate genetic, electrophysiological, biochemical, or computational studies, and advanced functional imaging with cellular and molecular approaches. An emerging core of this group focuses on the analysis of behavior, using both invertebrate and vertebrate organisms. The Development and Regulatary Biology group includes faculty with interests in cancer biology, genomics, cell signaling, embryonic development and regeneration, human genetics, transcriptional regulation, microRNAs, and nuclear receptors. Researchers in this group use a wide array of molecular approaches, as well as biochemical, cellular, and bioinformatic analyses, to investigate the regulation of gene expression using vertebrate model systems (e.g., mouse or frog embryos) or mammalian cell lines.
