Overview
What you will learn
The central focus in this Cell and Molecular Biology - Developmental, Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology program at the University of Pennsylvania is the compelling drive to understand how tissues are first formed, how they are maintained, and how they can be repaired.
Students participate in interdisciplinary training in gametogenesis; embryonic and fetal development; nervous system development and its wiring; the genesis of tissues and organ systems as well as their homeostasis, metabolism and repair; with the goal of understanding the basic biology of these processes, as well as their role in disease.
Complementing these areas is work on natural and induced Embryonic Stem Cells to understand disease processes in vitro in order to develop cell replacement strategies for therapy.
In conducting their research students utilize all tools of the modern genomic era and a wide variety of experimental model systems. The primary mission of DSRB faculty is to train students in hypothesis-driven research at the forefront of these areas.
