The Molecular and Biomedical Pharmacology Graduate Program and
Integrated Biomedical Sciences Program
Seven departments and graduate centers in the College of Medicine have created an integrated first-year curriculum in the biomedical sciences. All entering graduate students pursuing doctoral degrees in these programs are now admitted through the Integrated Biomedical Sciences (IBS) program.
The IBS program includes an integrated and undifferentiated curriculum that presents cellular and molecular concepts central to modern biomedical research. IBS students also complete four laboratory rotations in multiple departments and attend research seminars. At the conclusion of the IBS year, students select a doctoral program and research advisor from one of the participating programs, which include the:
- Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology
- Department of Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics
- Department of Molecular and Biomedical Pharmacology
- Department of Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry
- Department of Physiology
- Graduate Center for Nutritional Sciences
- Graduate Center for Toxicology
The IBS curriculum is designed for students beginning graduate studies in the fall semester. Students with a M.S. degree or prior studies may adjust their academic program, depending on their prior academic and research experience.
