Applicants to PhD programs in fields related to life and biomedical sciences apply for admission to one of 11 individual research areas. Graduate Programs in Bioscience is a consortium of PhD programs organized into specialized research groups, called home areas, that serve as the admissions and training units associated with the degree-granting programs. Through this structure, students can specialize in their chosen area while maintaining the flexibility to move between home areas to best pursue their research interests.
Consortium PhD programs offer the research home areas listed.
Additional opportunities for doctoral study include Biochemistry, and Molecular and Structural Biology in the College of Letters and Science; Oral Biology in the School of Dentistry; and Molecular Toxicology in the Fielding School of Public Health.
