Molecular Pathobiology

General Information
The Graduate Program in Molecular Pathobiology offers coursework and research opportunities leading to the Ph.D., M.D./Ph.D. and M.S. degrees. The goal of the program is to provide students with the the education necessary to conduct the research that leads to advances in the understanding of the etiology of the diseases processes and development of novel and therapeutic interventions.

The program has a large faculty, drawn from many basic science and clinical departments within the University. Active research programs involve HIV neuropathology, cancer biology and therapeutics, inhibition of tumor
angiogenesis, ulcerative colitis, pathophysiology of apoptosis, tissue engineering, transplant immunology, and diseases of the cardiovascular, respiratory, biliary, and gastrointestinal systems.

Substantial extramural funding for these programs provides an opportunity for research training in such diverse areas as the cellular and molecular biology of
cancer; tumor immunology and virology; molecular genetics; neurobiology; pathophysiology of cardiovascular, biliary, and gastrointestinal diseases; and contemporary advances in epithelial ion transport, signal transduction,
tissue engineering, and apoptosis.
