Biomedical science investigates human, animal, and microbial health, illness, and aging processes. Doctoral students are expected to actively participate in the School's research network, focusing on cancer cell biology, cardiovascular disorders, microbiology, and molecular biology. This field examines disease progression across various scales - from molecular and cellular to organ and whole-body systems. You'll become part of the Biomedical Research Group, which focuses on the molecular and cellular foundations of mammalian diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, blood disorders, inflammatory conditions, blood clotting abnormalities, tumor development, blood vessel damage, and metabolic diseases. Additional research areas include G-protein receptor signaling pathways and studying bacterial antibiotic resistance genetics, pathogenicity, and evolutionary adaptations.
