The Curriculum in Genetics and Molecular Biology (GMB) is an interdepartmental PhD program whose mission is (1) to train students to earn a PhD in the fields of genetics, genomics, and molecular biology by guiding them through the acquisition of essential elements of the PhD, including responsible achievement of significant original research; and (2) to provide opportunities for learning about the breadth of careers in research and research-related fields and acquiring the skills and experiences that will facilitate the transition into such careers.<\/p>\n

We train outstanding students<\/a> to be creative, sophisticated research scientists.\u00a0Our students have excellent publication records<\/a> and are successful in obtaining grants<\/a> and winning regional and national awards<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The research interests of the faculty<\/a> span a broad range of topics, from model organisms genetics to clinical and translational research; quantitative genetics and complex traits to virology and plant genetics.<\/div>\n
