The PhD Program in Biomedical Sciences provides an entry portal and a common first-year curriculum, equipping you with core knowledge and concepts to support your pursuit of a PhD in one of our several participating disciplines.

Our laboratory rotations allow you to explore several different fields so you can identify the best department and laboratory for your PhD research. You’ll gain a wide-ranging perspective and skill set before you decide on a lab—and experience that “eureka” moment of career discovery.

Whether you already know the field in which you want to specialize or want to weigh your options, our individualized training, broad-based curriculum and dedicated mentoring will help you succeed.

Our faculty work at the cutting edge of their disciplines. They publish widely and regularly receive national and international recognition. You will work one-on-one with these accomplished experts as you undertake your own innovative, independent research.
