TRAINING TRACK IN MECHANISTIC, STRUCTURAL & CHEMICAL BIOLOGY
COURSES AND REQUIREMENTS
MCSB first-year students participate in three ten-week laboratory rotations, while undertaking rigorous coursework that emphasizes critical evaluation of scientific models and experimental results. The program provides the flexibility to craft an individual curriculum that specifically suits the needs of the student's research interests. Second-year students take oral qualifying exams and initiate independent research projects that ultimately lead to their dissertation. Advanced graduate students work under the direct supervision of one of twenty-one affiliated faculty members in a highly interactive, collaborative research environment. All students participate in a variety of seminars, advanced special topics courses, and research group meetings designed to provide continuing learning opportunities.
