What will I learn?

The mission of the Comparative and Molecular Biosciences (CMB) program is to train outstanding scientists in the basic mechanisms of animal and human health and disease. The CMB program embraces a One Health approach and investigates a wide range of species, including humans, laboratory animals, companion animals, and livestock species.

The CMB program is transdisciplinary, bringing together basic, applied, and clinical scientists from a number of departments to provide students with individualized, cutting-edge biomedical research training. Areas of emphasis include genetic and infectious diseases, and comparative aspects of biology and pathology across animal species and humans. Students receive scientific training that prepares them for careers as independent investigators and educators in academia, industry, and government.
