Graduate Program in Pharmacology and Physiology
Ph.D. Degree Programs
The graduate programs at the University of Rochester School of Medicine
and Dentistry have been restructured to form the Graduate Education
in the Biomedical Sciences (GEBS) program. There are ten graduate
clusters in GEBS, and the cluster most associated with the Department
of Pharmacology and Physiology is the Cellular and Molecular Basis
of Medicine. The clusters are responsible for recruiting prospective
students and for mentoring them during their first year of study.
First-year graduate students take core courses in
biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, and ethics along
with elective courses and complete three research rotations, but
are not required to declare a major subject. At the end of their
first year, students select a major subject and a thesis advisor.
Graduate Program in Pharmacology and Physiology
The objective of the graduate program in Pharmacology and Physiology
at the University of Rochester is to train scientists in molecular
and integrative pharmacology and physiology who are well prepared
for careers in independent research and teaching. The program
offers Ph.D. degrees in both pharmacology and physiology and includes
courses in basic and advanced biomedical sciences, pharmacology,
and physiology; original laboratory research; and the preparation
and defense of a doctoral thesis.
