What does graduate research consist of for this PhD program?

Hands-on laboratory research is emphasized at all stages of the program.

The Research component of the doctoral program consists of

  • laboratory research,
  • presentations at research seminars,
  • the formulation of a research proposal,
  • presentation of research findings at scientific meetings,
  • writing papers for publication,
  • and the preparation and defense of a Doctoral Dissertation.

The student is expected to devote a considerable amount of time to research both in the laboratory and in the literature even during the first two years when there is substantial course work.

A key part of becoming a biomedical scientist is for students to learn how to apportion their time so that progress can be made in research. The emphasis will be on research and the time available for research will increase each year. New students will be apprised of the ongoing research of the faculty during the first semester. During the first year, students will gain first-hand knowledge of the research in selected laboratories during rotations through these laboratories.
