Biosciences Program Faculty performing Anatomy research
PhD students benefit from integrated training in human structural anatomy and cell biology as foundation fro careers in research concerning the molecular mechanisms of human diseases. Training reflects a global approach toward understanding the human body, organ function, and disease pathophysiology, while providing the molecular training essential for the development of successful careers in research.
Through broad-based training and research students develop a comprehensive view of human diseases pathophysiology and molecular medicine.
Areas of research emphasis include:
· Biology of Differentiation & Transformation
· Developmental & Vascular Cell Biology
· Molecular Medicine & Gene Therapy
· Neurobiology
