81 PhD programmes in Genetics in North America

The Cancer Biology program from The University of Arizona allows students to focus their training in several related disciplines which have in common research faculty studying various aspects of cancer biology.  

The Interdepartmental Ph.D. Program in Biomedical Sciences - Human Genetics and Genomics at the University of Miami is a multidisciplinary program aimed at training scientists broadly in areas of human genetics and genomics relevant to human health and disease. 

Emory University's Cancer Biology Graduate Program (CB) is a small, interdisciplinary graduate program that provides outstanding training opportunities in every aspect of cancer research.

The Curriculum in Genetics and Molecular Biology is an interdepartmental Ph.D. training program at University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, with about 80 faculty and students working in every basic science department in the School of Medicine as well as the Department of Biology in the College of Arts and Science and in labs in the Schools of Dentistry and Pharmacy.

The Microbiology and Molecular Genetics course at Rutgers University is part of a large, diverse, and highly interactive community of biological scientists that form the Graduate programme in Molecular Biosciences at Rutgers University and Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. 

The Molecular Genetics and Developmental Biology (MGDB) graduate program at the University of Pittsburgh provides an exciting and vigorous academic environment for highly motivated and qualified students to prepare for a rewarding career in biomedical research.

The Genetics programme offered by Cornell University develops advanced research expertise in heredity, genomic systems, and biological variation across cells, organisms, and populations.

The Environmental and Evolutionary Biology program at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette emphasizes research in environmental and evolutionary biology, with specialization in marine biology, ecology, molecular studies, and cell biology.

The Cell Biology, Genetics, and Molecular Medicine (CGM) discipline at The University of Texas at San Antonio provides a gateway to all basic, medical, and translational research by emphasizing the importance of cell, molecular, and systems biology approaches to study the foundations of life, health, and human disease.

Integrative Biology from University of California, Berkeley takes a whole-organism approach, extending from the genome and proteome through organismal traits (phenotypes), to communities and ecosystems.

Evolution, ecology and behavior encompass those aspects of the life and environmental sciences that characterize how organisms interact with each other and their environment, and how those interactions change over time. The Evolution, Ecology and Behavior program is offered at University at Buffalo.

The Evolutionary Biology programme offered by Cornell University develops advanced research expertise in biodiversity, evolutionary processes, and ecological systems.

The goal of the Graduate Program of the Department of Human Genetics at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) is to train the next generation of leaders in human genetics and genomics.

At the University of Alberta, we offer our graduate students a phd program degree in Medical Genetics. 

The graduate program in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Toronto leads to the Doctor of Philosophy degree.

The School of Biological Sciences at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln provides interdisciplinary training and professional development opportunities for students interested in a career in the life sciences.

The PhD in Developmental and Regenerative Sciences (DRS) at The University of Texas at San Antonio offers novel, cutting-edge approaches to preventing, treating and reversing diseases.

Emory University's Graduate Program in Microbiology and Molecular Genetics trains students to use microorganisms as models for investigating fundamental problems in genetics.

Genomics and Computational Biology are now at the center of biomedical research. These disciplines take a holistic approach to ask about the origins, functions, and interactions of whole systems, using both experimental and theoretical work. This degree is offered at the University of Pennsylvania.

The PhD in Genetics and Developmental Biology at West Virginia University is particularly well suited for students interested in emphasizing plant, animal, microbial (bacterial or fungal), or insect genetics or developmental biology.
