The Cornell University Biomedical and Biological Sciences (BBS) Graduate Program brings together exceptional students for cutting-edge research across fundamental, clinical, and applied life sciences, working alongside distinguished faculty and research experts. Based at the Cornell-Ithaca campus within the College of Veterinary Medicine, the program leverages top-tier research infrastructure, the dynamic undergraduate environment, and close connections with Weill Cornell Medical College in NYC. The BBS Program cultivates a supportive, student-focused academic community dedicated to helping graduates excel in research, education, and career growth. Participants choose faculty advisors from five specialization areas: Immunology and Infectious Disease, Molecular and Cellular Medicine, Population Medicine and Epidemiology, Translational Medicine, and Zoology and Wildlife Conservation.
Scientific investigations aim to translate genetic breakthroughs into early detection methods, stem cell therapies, targeted breeding programs, and human medical applications.
