Miami University

Cell, Molecular and Structural Biology is a multi-disciplinary program that seeks to identify and understand the molecules that collectively form the basis of all life.The Graduate Program in Cell, Molecular and Structural Biology (CMSB) is a multidisciplinary, interdepartmental program of study and research leading to M.S. (with a thesis required) and Ph.D. degrees. The CMSB program brings together, from various departments at Miami University, faculty and students with broad interests in several areas of life sciences.AcademicsStudents earn either a M.S. or Ph.D degree in Cell, Molecular, and Structural Biology (CMSB) but closely interact with one or more departments.CMSB students are eligible for assistantships and will take courses in core areas of cell, molecular and structural biology. CMSB students will also attend both scientific and professional development-based seminars to prepare them for life after graduate training. Students interested in the CMSB program should review the research interests of the CMSB faculty. Any CMSB faculty member may serve as a thesis/dissertation advisor. The CMSB program capitalizes on the interdisciplinary nature of the life sciences to provide students with educational experiences that reflect intricate designs and complexity of living organisms. The faculty and students in this program have a number of study and research interests including, but not limited to:biochemistrycell biologydevelopmental biologygeneticsgenomics and bioinformaticsmolecular biologyneurosciencephysiologystructural biology
