Overview
The Cell and Developmental Biology program at University of British Columbia is flexible and is designed to accommodate the diverse backgrounds of students and the broad nature of research in cell and developmental biology.
Features
- The program's courses provide a thorough understanding of the scientific fundamentals and methodologies of contemporary cell and developmental biology.
- All students also undertake original and significant research from the start of their studies. With nearly 50 faculty members engaged in cutting-edge research in cell and developmental biology, a wide range of research topics is available to students.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- Program faculty and students also conduct research at hospital-based research Institutes and Centres, including the BC Cancer Research Centre, the Biomedical Research Centre, the Centre for Brain Health, BC Children's Hospital Research Institute, the Centre for Molecular Medicine and Therapeutics,and the Centre for Macular Research.
- All of these Institutes and Centres offer highly collaborative research environments and provide outstanding facilities and resources to the ~ 70 graduate students who call the program home.
- Given the number of researchers associated with the program and their varied Departmental and Faculty affiliations, the potential range of research topics available to students in the Program is very large.
