DESCRIPTION:
The UCSD Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program provides a multidisciplinary approach to modern life sciences, drawing on faculty expertise from several departments and programs in the School of Medicine and affiliated institutions. First year students take a core curriculum that covers both fundamental aspects and current advances in cell and molecular biology, pharmacology, physiology, genetics, microbiology, and immunology and take laboratory rotations in preparation for selecting a thesis laboratory. Advanced training activities to enhance thesis research are provided in elective courses, journal clubs, and research-related events organized through Advanced Training Tracks, Focus Areas, or customized programs of study.
