Overview
About the program
- In their first year, all Ph.D. graduate students in the School of Medicine's Interdisciplinary Biomedical Sciences (IBS) program (of which we are a part) participate in a combined First Year curriculum, which provides broad-based knowledge in important areas of fundamental biomedical research.
- In addition to these courses, first-year Biochemistry and Molecular Biology students at Wayne State University undertake a series of ten-week laboratory rotations designed as in-depth introductions to the laboratories of their greatest interest.
- After the first year in the program, students choose courses from anywhere in the University, to focus on their particular interests.
