Overview

The Molecular Biology program at the University of Utah is designed to equip students with a strong foundation for a career in the biomolecular sciences. The program provides students with high-quality, graduate-level education in cell and molecular biology in support of their transition into laboratory research environments for the remainder of their graduate education.

The program spans between seven basic science departments: Biochemistry, School of Biological Sciences, Human Genetics, Microbiology & Immunology (Pathology), Neurobiology, Nutrition & Integrative Physiology, and Oncological Sciences.

All PhD students admitted to the Molecular Biology Program who remain in good standing will receive financial support including a fellowship/living stipend, tuition waiver through the Tuition Benefit Program, and health insurance throughout the entirety of their graduate student tenure.

Professionalism

Graduate school is both an individual educational experience and a collaborative workplace environment, and students are expected to maintain professional and collegial behavior.
