| Program Overview |
|
The Graduate Program in Molecular Biology welcomes students from a variety of educational backgrounds. Students select courses in a variety of disciplines and carry out research rotations with faculty members in Molecular Biology and associated departments. The program provides a wide choice of advisors encompassing a broad spectrum of interdisciplinary interests and research objectives.
Areas of concentration include:
Interdisciplinary OptionsNeuroscienceProspective students interested in Neuroscience can learn more about Princeton's new Ph.D. program at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute website. This new program is intended for students who wish to gain a strong grounding centered in Neuroscience and who wish to carry out thesis research leading to a Ph.D. in Neuroscience. Interdisciplinary students whose main interest lies at the interface between Molecular Biology and Neuroscience may prefer to pursue the Joint Program in Neuroscience. The Joint Program leads to a Ph.D degree in Molecular Biology and Neuroscience within the Molecular Biology department. Quantitative and Computational Biology Students interested in Princeton’s Graduate Program in Quantitative and Computational Biology (QCB) can apply to the Department of Molecular Biology and pursue a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology, with the interdisciplinary nature of the thesis indicated in the degree. The program is offered by the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics. Associated Departments Princeton encourages a multidisciplinary approach to research. Graduate students have the option of pursuing a Ph.D. in the Department of Molecular Biology while performing research with faculty in the Departments of Chemical Engineering , Chemistry, Computer Science, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or Psychology. |
