Cellular, Molecular, and Biomedical Sciences | Doctoral Degree
University of Vermont
Description
The Cellular, Molecular, and Biomedical (CMB) program has at its underpinnings didactic training in biochemistry, cell biology, genetics, data analysis, scientific communications, grant writing, and ethics, along with research rotations during the first year conducted in three laboratories.
In subsequent years, CMB students devote most of their time to basic science, applied, or translational research conducted in the laboratory of their primary mentor, and are afforded ample opportunities to enroll in advanced elective courses catered especially to doctoral-level students in which both contemporary and classical primary literature constitute the teaching materials, and in-depth discussions are the norm.
Areas of research being conducted by CMB faculty recruiting students includes allergy and autoimmunity, bacteriology, biochemistry, bioinformatics, cancer biology, cellular and organismal metabolism, fibrosis, genomics, cell motility, host defense and inflammation, parasitology, redox biology, regenerative medicine, toxicology, vaccine development, virology, and x-ray crystallography.
Financial Assistance
Funding, Grants, & Scholarships
For the first two years, CMB students are offered a Graduate Teaching Assistantship that provides a stipend of $34,375, tuition waiver for up to 23 credits and UVM student health insurance. Students may be required to pay additional fees (e.g. international taxes). It is expected that funding for students past the second year will come from the research mentor or the department of the research mentor. Some students have opted to apply for, and receive, independent funding.
