A unique aspect of the CMB Program is the interdisciplinary structure of the individual faculty research projects, which are often highly collaborative and cross traditional department boundaries. CMB faculty have primary appointments in clinical as well as basic science departments, which brings a broad perspective of contemporary problems in cell, molecular and biomedical sciences. CMB graduate students have instant exposure to this vast array of research to learn skills directly from experts to apply toward their PhD research.
The research enterprise within the CMB Program is well-funded by extramural support with 60 million grant dollars generated annually by the CMB faculty in individual research awards, program projects grants, and pre- and post-doctoral training grants. Large interdisciplinary, multi-investigator grants fund research projects in cancer biology, cardiovascular biology and cell motility, environmental pathology, immunobiology, neuroscience, and pulmonary function and disease. In addition, students have access to cutting-edge core facilities including those in Bioinformatics, X-Ray Crystallography, DNA Analysis, Flow Cytometry, and Microscopy and Imaging.
