Overview

The Cellular, Molecular and Biomedical Sciences (CMB) graduate program focuses on educating scientists to understand cellular, genetic and biochemical mechanisms in prokaryotes and eukaryotes that control growth, development, responses of cells and organisms to their environment, and changes in cell signaling and gene expression that contribute to normal cellular function and/or disease. The objectives of the CMB program are to train students to be effective in both written and oral forms of communication as teachers, researchers, and scholars and attain a core set of knowledge through completion of courses in one of four concentrations: Biochemistry; Structural Biology and Biophysics; Genetic, Cellular and Molecular Biology; Microbiology and Immunology; Molecular Physiology and Pharmacology.

The current CMB program evolved from a Cell Biology program founded at UVM in 1971. Today, CMB includes 80 faculty and is unique in its multi- and interdisciplinary nature as it is not constricted by the boundaries of a typical department-based program.
