| The Predoctoral Training Program in Human Genetics provides our students a firm foundation in human biology, molecular biology and genetics along with rigorous training in state-of-the-art research methodology. We recognize the increasing opportunities for non-physician geneticists who have been trained in human biology. We believe it is not sufficient to expose students to research problems in human genetics without providing a basic knowledge of the human phenotype. Our students take courses in molecular biology, biochemistry and genetics as well as medical school courses covering normal and abnormal human biology. This basic information about the human organism enables our students to think creatively about their experimental organism. Our program also provides rigorous research training in human systems and in a wide variety of model organisms. Through continuous laboratory experience and conferences, the student develops knowledge of the scientific process. Our goal is to provide each student with a quality educational experience that will prepare them for a career in the area of their choosing. | |
