Doctor of Philosophy in Cellular and Molecular Medicine

The programs prepare candidates for a variety of careers in teaching and research both within and outside of academia. During training, the student will develop a critical approach to published work and to his own work. Graduates acquire an excellent knowledge of their chosen field and a general understanding of the areas related to their own particular research project. They must demonstrate research skills and credibility as professionals in their area of research.

The Department is a participating unit in the collaborative programs in Bioinformatics (at the master's level), in Human and Molecular Genetics (at the master's and doctoral levels), and in Pathology and Experimental Medicine (at the master's and doctoral levels).

The doctoral program participates in the Combined MD / PhD Program, which allows students to graduate with both a PhD in Cellular and Molecular Medicine and an MD.
