Description:
The Cell Biology and Genetics program offers opportunities to develop
research training in cell or developmental biology, genetics, and molecular
biology. The Cell Biology and Genetics Program is a member of an Alliance of
three Programs that includes Biochemistry and Structural Biology, Cell
Biology and Genetics, and Molecular Biology.
Degree(s):
Ph.D.
Research Areas:
The research interests of the Cell Biology and Genetics faculty comprise a
wide range of topics related to the control of normal and malignant cell
growth and differentiation. Purified proteins, isolated cells and tissues,
and whole organisms are all being exploited as model systems. A variety of
molecular, cellular, and genetic techniques are being used to address the
following questions: How is gene expression regulated? How are proteins
folded and targeted to specific locations within the cell? How do cells
interact and how does this influence tissue function? How is the growth of
normal and transformed cells regulated at the biochemical and genetic
levels?

Description:
The Immunology and Microbial Pathogenesis Program brings together for
research and teaching a diverse set of scientists who seek to understand how
genes, cells and molecules fight infection, cancer and grafted cells, and
how they misfire to cause autoimmune disease, and how some microbes evolve
the ability to use the mammalian body for replication of their own genomes.

Description:
The biomedical research disciplines of Physiology and Biophysics seek to
discover, analyze and explain the functions of the human body's building
blocks: cells, tissues and organs. The availability of information from
genomics, imaging and proteomics, combined with the power of computational
methods, has enabled entirely new approaches for making these discoveries
and relating them to the most basic molecular mechanisms.
