Welcome

Students entering graduate school through the cluster of Genetics, Genomics and Development will perform cutting edge research on topics including organism function and development, disease models, stem cell biology. Advanced cutting-edge experimental systems in genetics, molecular biology, genomics, proteomics and computational biology are used and taught. This training will lead to a Ph.D. degree in Genetics, Biochemistry or Biology according to the student's choice of departmental program and will qualify students for high level research careers in academia and in the burgeoning biotech industry.
