Biosciences Program Faculty performing Molecular & Cellular Biology research

Molecular biology research at the University of Iowa includes laboratories in the Molecular Biology PhD Program and other programs on campus.

The ability to analyze and alter gene expression has become a central focus of a great deal of biological research. Scientists within many different disciplines are increasingly using molecular biological approaches in cell and animal models to gain new understanding of fundamental processes.

To meet this need the interdisciplinary graduate program in molecular biology provides a core component of molecular and cell biology training which is complemented by course work and thesis research in various areas:

· Molecular Medicine
· Virology
· Signal Transduction
· Gene Regulation

The university-wide nature of this program permits training and research opportunities in the laboratories of faculty anatomy and cell biology, biochemistry, biological sciences, internal medicine, microbiology, pathology, pediatrics, pharmacology, physiology and biophysics, radiology, and ophthalmology.
