GRADUATE TRAINING PROGRAM IN BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES & ENGINEERING
The graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences and Engineering (PBSE) reflects the interdisciplinary and collaborative nature of biomedical research at UCSC. PBSE predoctoral fellows have the opportunity to study biology at the molecular, cellular, and systems levels, and can take advantage of advanced laboratory facilities, computational tools, and a highly collaborative research environment. First year students can do research rotations with over forty-five faculty members in the Departments of Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology, Biomolecular Engineering, Chemistry and Biochemistry, and Microbiology and Environmental Toxicology. Students apply directly to the PBSE, selecting from the following three interdisciplinary training tracks:
- Bioinformatics & Computational Biology
- Mechanistic, Structural & Chemical Biology
- Molecular, Cell & Developmental Biology
Each training track offers a complete set of core courses, electives, seminars and journal clubs that provide rigorous training in each of the three broad areas. Students may switch training tracks, and we encourage students to take advantage of PBSE's unique opportunities for carrying out interdisciplinary research. Questions regarding PBSE may be sent to Dr. Doug Kellogg, Director of the program.
