The type of research being conducted at medical institutions is one important difference. Our world-class faculty members are exploring questions that have the potential to impact human health, and the collaboration between our graduate school faculty and physicians means bench discoveries are applied to patients expeditiously. Graduate students can choose to work with more than 300 faculty members pursuing a wide range of exciting research projects in areas such as:

  • Aging
  • Cancer, cell cycle, and growth control
  • Developmental biology
  • Gene expression and regulation
  • Gene therapy
  • Genetics of inherited diseases
  • Genomics and proteomics
  • Immunology/autoimmunity
  • Microbiology and virology
  • Protein structure and function
  • Signal transduction
  • Structural and computational biology
  • Systems, cognitive and computational neuroscience
    • Our graduate students can choose from 14 programs that lead to a Ph.D., as well as an outstanding M.D./Ph.D. program.
