PhD in Genetics in Ithaca United States | Cornell University

From a broad perspective, student research in GGD aims to reveal the core genetic, biochemical, developmental, and cellular mechanisms underlying life. This work employs cutting-edge techniques in genetics, genomics, biochemistry, proteomics, cell biology, computational biology, imaging, nanobiotechnology, and diverse in vivo approaches to study the regulatory processes behind numerous biological phenomena. Incoming students can anticipate becoming part of an innovative, collaborative network of graduate students and faculty, engaging with a rigorous curriculum designed to cultivate independent thinking and research skills. Our faculty consists of top-tier scientists deeply committed to both discovery and nurturing the next generation of researchers. The graduate student body comprises driven investigators who play pivotal roles in the Field's research endeavors, forming a closely bonded group that fosters mutual growth and guidance.
