Overview
Our Cell Biology comprehensive program at University of Virginia emphasizes original research, interdisciplinary coursework, and advanced topical colloquia.
Trainees have the opportunity to explore fundamental questions in many areas including molecular mechanisms of cell function; regulation of growth and differentiation; cell interactions in migration; embryonic patterning in development; and morphogenesis of cells, tissues and organs.
Features
- Training in cell and developmental biology forms the basis not only for making fundamental new discoveries, but also for understanding and exploring the links to human diseases where the fundamental processes of cytoskeletal dynamics, membrane trafficking, signal transduction, mitosis, cell adhesion, motility, mechanotransduction, and polarity go awry.
