Our undergraduate program in Biopharmaceutical Sciences prepares you for graduate work in pharmacy, medicine, dentistry, biomedical engineering, business, finance and law. Through innovative coursework and independent research opportunities, the program instills you with skills in pharmaceutical sciences, business, marketing, product development and lifecycle, and medical product development and use. You’ll leave the program positioned for employment at leading research universities and in industry, government or any research-centric arena.

Once accepted into either the Ph.D. in Biomedical Science, or the Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering program, and prior to the identification of a dissertation mentor, students will be advised by the First Year Advisory Committee (FYA). There is an FYA committee member at each partner institution.

The Ph.D. degree in Biomedical Sciences–Cellular and Molecular Biology prepares creative research scientists for careers in teaching, research and biotechnology. Graduates possess an in-depth comprehension of experimental design at the cellular and molecular levels of biological organization, as well as competency in current techniques in the discipline. Major research emphases include signal transduction, biochemistry and pathobiology, gene regulation, cell systems biology, cell and tissue ultrastructure, membrane structure and function, molecular aspects of neurobiology and endocrinology, genetics and metabolism of microorganisms, virology and immunology and enzymology with an emphasis on protein dynamics and folding, as well as cytochrome P-450s.

The University of Iowa (UI) Carver College of Medicine is at the forefront of biomedical science, consistently ranking among the top public research institutions in the country in research activity, federal funding, graduate education, and core facility support.

The University of Texas School of Biomedical Informatics at Houston (SBMI) offers a full-time doctoral program in Biomedical Informatics designed to be inherently trans-disciplinary and integrative. Involving students with various backgrounds, the program emphasizes fundamental informatics concepts that can apply to all health disciplines.

Students for the Ph.D. program in Oral & Craniofacial Biomedical Sciences in the Department of Biomedical Sciences receive training in the broad fields of Craniofacial development and genetics, Bioengineering and regeneration, Mineralized tissue biology, and Neuroscience and pain. This training includes the advanced study of cell and molecular mechanisms, experimental studies, and clinical studies of development, growth, aging, function, disease, and treatment. Work leading to the degree of doctor of philosophy (Ph.D.) is designed to give the candidate a thorough and comprehensive knowledge of a professional field and training in methods of research. The final basis for granting the degree is the candidate's mastery of the subject matter of a broad field of study and the demonstrated ability to do independent research. In addition, the candidate must acquire the ability to express thoughts clearly in both oral and written language.

Students seeking an M.S. or Ph.D. degree in core areas of animal and human health can do so through the UW School of Veterinary Medicine’s Comparative Biomedical Sciences (CBMS) Graduate Program. This highly ranked program integrates faculty from a wide variety of departments throughout the school and the UW-Madison campus and offers a unique research training experience for its students.

The UF Ph.D. programs exemplify the UF Health Science Center's collaborative infrastructure with innovative research opportunities and excellent faculty.

Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute's Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences is an interdisciplinary program that offers training in a wide range of biological research areas.
