PhD in Biochemistry, Cell and Developmental Biology in Atlanta United States | Emory University

The life sciences are progressing faster than ever before. Three fundamental disciplines form the basis of these breakthroughs: Biochemistry, Cell Biology, and Developmental Biology. Biochemists decode the chemical processes that maintain life, Cell Biologists study how these processes drive cellular functions, while Developmental Biologists explore cellular interactions during organism growth and specialization. Emory's Biochemistry, Cell, and Developmental Biology (BCDB) program integrates these interconnected fields into a premier interdisciplinary doctoral program. BCDB researchers uncover insights at molecular, cellular, and organismal levels, enhancing our knowledge of biological mechanisms—including those involved in human health and disease. These investigative journeys equip students with the expertise needed for thriving careers in academic, industrial, or governmental science. Whether pursuing fundamental research or applied studies, our program provides the resources to influence human wellbeing and expand scientific knowledge.
