Description:
The graduate program of the Department provides insight and investigative opportunities in the areas of anatomy and cell biology,emphasizing the structural and functional relationships of cell systems,tissues and organs. A particular interest within the department is the field of developmental morphogenesis, including growth factors and gene activation control mechanisms, as well as the mechanisms of teratogenic toxicities. A specific focus of research activity is related to angiogenesis and its relationship to the control of limb development. The Department also has research activities related to the control of central nervous system development and function.

Description:
The UMDNJ-Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences has introduced a new multidisciplinary Master of Science program in the Biomedical Sciences. The program is directed toward individuals interested in careers in the pharmaceutical industry or in improving their science base for application to dental or medical school. The MSBS program has specified core requirements, but is flexible in order to accommodate diverse needs and interests of the students.

The core of the program includes courses in biochemistry and molecular biology, cell and tissue biology, genetics,immunology, and biomedical computing. The student then may choose electives in pharmacology, physiology,neurobiology, and related areas. The program includes laboratory experience and a research thesis. It is designed to be completed within two years, but can be done in a year or extended up to four years.

Degree(s):
PhD- Biomedical Sciences

Description:
The Graduate Program in Cell and Molecular Biology in Stratford is the only Ph.D. granting institution in the biomedical sciences in all of South Jersey. Students receive comprehensive education in molecular biology, cellular biology, and molecular medicine and gain valuable experience in classroom teaching and laboratory instruction. Research on the Stratford campus is rapidly expanding as evident by the Science Center Addition, which is slated to open in the Fall of 2004. Moreover, the GSBS-Stratford offers a 10 week Summer Undergraduate Research Experience program designed to give selected undergraduates the opportunity to work in research laboratories and experience academic research first-hand. Many of these students go on to pursue graduate school at Stratford or other Ph.D. granting institutions.

Description:
Graduate research in Experimental Pathology is directed toward a clearer understanding of the mechanisms of disease at the cellular and molecular levels. The Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology offers acomprehensive doctoral program for graduate students anticipating careers in biomedical research and teaching. Each student's program is designed individually, in consultation with a faculty advisor. The core curriculumconsists of courses in microanatomy, biochemistry, immunology, cellular pathology and general pathology. General Pathology deals with cellular and issue reactions to infectious agents; metabolic, genetic, and immunologicabnormalities; and perturbations of growth, including neoplasia.

Description:
A comprehensive multidisciplinary predoctoral training program in the molecular and immunopathologic mechanisms of cancer is offered jointly by participating faculty from the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, the Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, and the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of the Graduate School. This program is funded primarily through a training grant awarded by the NIHÐNational Cancer Institute and is designed for candidates anticipating careers in research and teaching in cancer-related disciplines. All aspects of the program are monitored by a Cancer Training Committee. Course work includes core courses in molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry, genetics, immunology, and cancer biology. Advanced courses in areas relevant to the student's research interests are offered as interdepartmental electives. Students also participate in seminars, journal clubs, and research workshops designed to supplement course work and to help students keep informed of the current literature and recent scientific and technological advances. Laboratory rotations are part of the first-year curriculum; they give trainees an opportunity to familiarize themselves with ongoing research projects of participating faculty members. Following completion of course work, students take a comprehensive qualifying examination before engaging in thesis research. The submission and oral defense of a doctoral thesis is the final requirement for the Ph.D.
