About the Curriculum
Background courses in biochemistry, molecular
and cell biology, and integrative biology are taken during the first academic
year. In addition, every student carries out short research projects in
three different laboratories chosen by the student.This exposure to research
not only gives the student broad research training, but also helps the
student to select a thesis advisor at the end of the first
academic year. In the second year, the student begins thesis research
and takes several advanced courses, tailored to the student’s individual
interests.
The program offers a weekly seminar series with invited external and intramural
speakers who address the program’s broad research interests. Journal Club
members meet weekly in their own informal setting to present results of
interest from the current literature.

|
||||
| During the third year, students
develop a plan for their doctoral research in conjunction with their
thesis advisor. A formal, written thesis proposal is then presented
to the student’s Thesis Advisory Committee. Acceptance of this proposal
after oral examination by the Committee leads to the final stage of
doctoral training. Ph.D. candidates
then spend the majority of their time on thesis research. After concluding
their research, they must submit and publicly defend their thesis
before the Thesis-Examination Committee. |
