20 PhD programmes offered by the university

The Johns Hopkins University graduate program is designed for students who desire a PhD in Chemistry while advancing scientific knowledge for humankind. The graduate program provides students with the background and technical expertise required to be leaders in their field and to pursue independent research.

The Cellular and Molecular Physiology graduate program at Johns Hopkins University develops agile, independent scientists who identify important scientific gaps, establish creative, mechanistic hypotheses, and execute experimental strategies that are comprehensive, cutting edge, and push their field forward. 

Pathobiology at Johns Hopkins University is an integrative discipline that looks simultaneously at the whole organism and its component cells, tissues, and molecules to study the causes and mechanisms of disease. It is a discipline that strives to understand the mechanisms of disease at fundamental levels.

Graduate Physics and Astronomy programs at Johns Hopkins University are among the top programs in the field. Students engage in original research starting in their first semester and have flexibility in choosing their course of research and designing their path through the program.

We offer a Applied Mathematics and Statistics degree at the Johns Hopkins University

The Human Genetics and Molecular Biology Program at Johns Hopkins University provides a training in all aspects of human genetics and genomics relevant to human biology, health and disease.

Through a departmental core curriculum as well as research area-specific courses, laboratory rotations, qualifying examinations, mentored research, and professional development, all Molecular Microbiology and Immunology PhD students at Johns Hopkins University are prepared to engage in cutting edge research and scholarship that advances knowledge.

Our position within the School of Public Health provides a unique setting in which students learn how biochemistry, molecular biology, physical chemistry, cell biology, and genetics can be used to solve significant problems in public health and medicine. We offer a Biochemistry and Molecular Biology degree at the Johns Hopkins University.

New fields of scientific inquiry are emerging at a breathtaking pace. In the biological sciences, emphasis will be increasingly on quantitation and prediction of living systems—precisely the focus of biophysics. Biophysics at Johns Hopkins University is a discipline that sits at the interface between biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, computation, and engineering.

The Graduate Training Program in Cellular and Molecular Medicine at Johns Hopkins University prepares scientists for laboratory research at the cellular and molecular level with a direct impact on the understanding, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of human diseases. 

Modern research in the biological sciences is increasingly multidisciplinary, focused less on single genes and proteins, and more on the complex interactions of multiple genes, macromolecules, and processes within a living Cell, Molecular, Developmental Biology and Biophysics organism at Johns Hopkins University. 

The Neuroscience Training Program and the Neuroscience Department at Johns Hopkins University were among the first neuroscience-focused academic centers established in the United States.  The goal of the Program to ensure that our students obtain broad training in the neurosciences. 

The goal of our Mathematics program at Johns Hopkins University is to train graduate students to become research mathematicians. Each year, an average of five students complete their theses and go on to exciting careers in mathematics both inside and outside of academia. 

The mission of the multidisciplinary Biochemistry, Cellular and Molecular Biology Graduate Program at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine is to train independent research scientists for productive careers. 

The PhD Program in Molecular Biophysics (PMB) at Johns Hopkins University has evolved over the years to provide its student participants with training in both the fundamental principles of biophysics and contemporary advances in the field.

The Psychological and Brain Sciences program at Johns Hopkins University emphasizes scientific methodology and provides training in both pure research and research related to problems in the world, with emphasis on the ways in which basic research methodology can be adapted to the study of applied problems.

The PhD in Biostatistics at Johns Hopkins University provides training in the theory of probability and statistics in biostatistical methodology. 

In the beginning of every fall semester, the department organizes a series of events (graduate orientation, various seminars and presentations) to provide an in-depth overview of research activities in the department. We offer a Astronomy and Astrophysics degree at the Johns Hopkins University. 

The FAE graduate program at Johns Hopkins University offers a Ph.D. in Functional Anatomy and Evolution and provides individualized support by world-leading professors for each student in a close-knit department with an excellent faculty to student ratio.

The Department of Pharmacology and Molecular Sciences hosts the Pharmacology Graduate Program at Johns Hopkins University, which offers a program of study and research leading to the Ph.D. degree.
