The Medical and Molecular Genetics PhD program prepares students for research and service careers in mammalian genetics. With 28 primary faculty members and over 45 secondary and adjunct faculty, the department offers diverse research opportunities in the dynamic field of human genetics.
PhD candidates begin through the Indiana BioMedical Gateway (IBMG) Program, sharing a common first-year curriculum with all IU School of Medicine biomedical science PhD students. The program allows students to investigate different research areas through three lab rotations across disciplines before selecting one of ten PhD programs after their first year. This flexible structure fosters a collaborative graduate community, essential for modern interdisciplinary biomedical research.
Genetics PhD students can engage in medical genetics clinics, gaining valuable insight into translating laboratory discoveries to clinical applications.
