Cell Biology & Physiology Curriculum

The UNC at Chapel Hill Cell Biology and Physiology (CBP) Curriculum is an integrative, multidisciplinary predoctoral training program that uses a systems approach to provide comprehensive, biomedical graduate education to our trainees. The CBP Curriculum mission is to develop a diverse pool of responsible and rigorous scientists who acquire the skills to investigate the integrative, regulatory and developmental physiology of higher organisms and their organ systems by elucidating and evaluating the molecular and cellular functional components of these systems. Our students will formulate sophisticated strategies for analysis of contemporary biomedical problems with a strong emphasis on career development, including oral and written presentation skills, and mentoring students in a way that enables them to explore diverse job opportunities available to them in the post-graduate biomedical workforce.

Cell Biology and Physiology Curriculum

CBP Curriculum Training faculty are affiliated with 7 basic science departments (Cell Biology and Physiology, Biochemistry and Biophysics, Biomedical Engineering, Genetics, Pathology, Microbiology & Immunology, and Pharmacology) and 6 clinical departments (Medicine, Neurology, Oral and Craniofacial Health Sciences, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, and Surgery) in the UNC School of Medicine, the Department of Biology in the College of Arts and Sciences, and the Department of Nutrition in the School of Public Health. Our distinguished faculty are experts in cutting-edge techniques and quantitative methods, and have the vast resources of the UNC School of Medicine and College of Arts and Sciences at their disposal.
