The department is home to exciting and well funded initiatives in genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics. These research & service facilities help support and complement existing research strengths in bacterial pathogenesis, cancer biology, cardiovascular biology, cellular & molecular neurobiology, diabetes & endocrinology, developmental biology, immunology, joint injury & arthritis, smooth muscle, and population genomics. Graduates of our program are productive and exceptionally well trained in a broad range of methodologies, and have gone on to successful careers in both industry and academia |
