PhD programmes in Biology in Canada

This Molecular, Cellular and Integrative Physiology program trains students to become independent researchers who can carry out original research and make a significant contribution to a field of study in physiology: cellular physiology and membrane transport and the physiology of the cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, digestive and endocrine systems.

It must show familiarity with previous work in the field and must demonstrate ability to plan and carry out research, organize results, and defend the approach and conclusions in a scholarly manner.

The Doctor of Philosophy in Biology from McGill University is a research-focused program that encompasses a diverse range of topics in biology, from molecules and cells to organisms and ecosystems, including development, behaviour and evolution. 

The Institute of Parasitology from McGill University teaches and researches the phenomenon of parasitism in humans, livestock, and other animals, and the control of parasitic diseases.

The Epidemiology - Global Health program at the McGill University may be of interest to students from the natural or quantitative sciences (e.g., microbiology, computer science, statistics, economics, geography), quantitative social sciences (e.g., sociology, psychology), or the health professions (e.g., medicine, nursing, social work, nutrition).

At Microbiology - Environment from McGill University thesis must constitute original scholarship and must be a distinct contribution to knowledge. It must show familiarity with previous work in the field and must demonstrate ability to plan and carry out research, organize results, and defend the approach and conclusions in a scholarly manner. 

Applied Animal Biology at University of British Columbia offers opportunities for advanced study and research leading to M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in animal physiology, behaviour, welfare, and management of livestock, aquaculture, and wildlife species.

At Cell Biology from McGill University thesis must constitute original scholarship and must be a distinct contribution to knowledge.
