PhD in Pathobiology in University Park United States | Pennsylvania State University

A cross-disciplinary doctoral program centered on exploring disease mechanisms at the molecular level, designed for students passionate about cancer biology, immunology, and infectious diseases.

Penn State University's Pathobiology graduate program offers doctoral training with diverse faculty united by their focus on decoding disease processes in humans and animals. Candidates can select from exceptional research labs led by dynamic faculty members for their doctoral projects.
The program excels particularly in these three research domains:

Immunology - researchers investigate how organisms combat illnesses, exploring crucial topics from lymphocyte signaling to macrophage functions in immune responses.
Toxicology - scholars examine cellular reactions to harmful substances and investigate cancer's molecular origins through compelling research opportunities.
Infectious disease - a multidisciplinary team employs varied methodologies to study pathogens affecting both human and animal health.
The program maintains robust funding, primarily through NIH grants and other sources, which supports both tuition and living stipends for enrolled students.
