Overview
The mission of the Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, and Biochemistry Graduate Program (MCBGP) at Brown University is to build and sustain an equitable and inclusive training environment in which a diverse group of PhD students will successfully gain quantitative, conceptual, technical, and professional skills that will allow them to conduct the rigorous and reproducible research demanded by interdisciplinary life science.
Features
- Our goal is to make fundamental contributions to understanding the molecular mechanisms responsible for cellular, organ, and organismal function.
- We apply our findings to detect and treat human disease and to many other challenges that biotechnology can address.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- Proficiency in core areas of biochemistry, cellular biology, developmental biology, and molecular genetics through a common first semester core course and seminars that develop breadth in areas such as gene structure and expression, signal transduction, virology, biology of aging, epigenetics, genomics, structural biology, RNA metabolism, protein folding and function, cancer biology, and developmental biology; one semester of teaching; research seminars and rotations in three different laboratories leading to a potential thesis project.
