Genes and Development Ph.D. Program
The Genes and Development Ph.D. Program (G&D) is for students seeking advanced training in biomedical research focused on the fundamental molecular mechanisms that control cell growth and differentiation and underlie disease.
Research in our program labs covers a broad spectrum of modern biomedical interests including Cancer Biology, Developmental Biology, Gene Regulation, Structural Biology, Cell Growth and Signaling and Proteomics and Genomics. Diverse experimental systems, including mice, frogs, worms, fruit flies, sea urchins, yeast and human cells are used by G&D faculty and graduate students to conduct their research.
Located in the heart of the world’s largest medical center in Houston, Texas, the G&D Program provides an exceptional setting for biomedical research and graduate education. Browse through our pages and you’ll discover an outstanding program that prepares students for successful biomedical research careers in academia, industry and government and other biomedical-related professions.
