IX. Graduate Programs

Molecular and Cellular Biology

The MCB graduate program offers opportunities for interdisciplinary studies in molecular and cellular biology leading to the MSc and PhD degrees. The research groups directed by the faculty pursue fundamental and applied research questions involving diverse biological systems (plants, humans and other animals, prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbes). In general, they follow lines of scientific enquiry at the level of molecules to cells. The five areas of emphasis are listed below. See the department website for additional information.

• Biochemistry (BCH)

• Cell Biology (CEB)

• Microbiology (MICR)

• Molecular Biology and Genetics (MBG)

• Plant Biology (PBIO)

Faculty in Molecular and Cellular Biology also participate in the interdepartmental programs in Bioinformatics, Biophysics and the collaborative programs in Neuroscience and Toxicology.
