PhD - Doctor of Philosophy in Biology

York University

At the PhD level, students work closely with a supervisor, and their research is supported by that supervisor. Thus, no student is accepted into the program unless a faculty member agrees to supervise that student. Program emphasizes current research in diverse fields of biology. You will be guided by a group of dynamic and interactive professors, including many award winners (e.g. Steacie Fellows, Young Investigator award, York Research Chairs, Canada Research Chairs). Study systems include a host of model and non-model organisms, as well as humans. York provides state-of-the-art facilities (e.g. molecular core facilities, mass spectroscopy) and encourages interaction among disciplines.
