Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Cell and Molecular Biology

The interdisciplinary Cell & Molecular Biology graduate program comprises a community of graduate students, faculty, and staff with diverse experiences and interests. We share a common goal of preparing the next generation of scientific leaders to make significant contributions in our field. We accomplish this by promoting a rigorous interdisciplinary curriculum, and an inclusive, supportive, and collaborative culture. Our faculty mentors are distributed across 6 colleges and 17 departments at CSU. Our program is ideal for those who want to work in the space between traditional fields or explore multiple research areas to find a good fit. We place a strong emphasis on developing quantitative and computational skills. Students are generally admitted with full support as teaching assistants and participate in laboratory rotations to find an advisor.
