The Integrated Biomedical Science Graduate Program, with the theme "The Biology of Human Disease," is a College-wide graduate program that has an extremely strong Graduate Faculty composed of over 170 members from 19 departments. These faculty members bring to the program extraordinary research and teaching expertise and outstanding research resources that will be available to our graduate students. Genetics, in normal and disease processes, is a focus in numerous laboratories of IBGP faculty members, and is one of the emphases of IBGP. Not only does every human disease and condition have a hereditary component but genetic studies also encompass all aspects of molecular genetics of development, differentiation, aging, evolution and death. Potential advisors are in several departments, as well as Centers, with access to Shared Resources that facilitate students’ introduction to state-of-the-art methods for massive parallel analyses of gene and protein expression.
