The Ph.D. program offers comprehensive interdisciplinary and translational education in Biomedical Sciences, with specialized training across five focus areas. Students begin with a shared foundational year before choosing their specialization from options including Cancer Biology and Genetics, Infectious Disease and Immunity, Molecular and Cellular Biosciences, Neuroscience, or Organ Systems and Translational Medicine. The program's structure fosters innovative research methodologies through cross-disciplinary education, cultivating future leaders in scientific research, academia, and public policy. This Biomedical Sciences graduate program features five Ph.D. concentrations: Cancer Biology and Genetics, Infectious Disease and Immunity, Molecular and Cellular Biosciences, Neuroscience, and Organ Systems and Translational Medicine
The Organ Systems and Translational Medicine (OSTM) specialization bridges biological science and medical applications. This track provides educational and research pathways for PhD, MD/PhD, and MS candidates within Temple University's Lewis Katz School of Medicine Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program. OSTM faculty represent diverse disciplines, spanning basic science departments (Anatomy and Cell Biology, Pharmacology and Physiology), research centers (Cardiovascular Research, Translational Medicine, Inflammation, Translational and Clinical Lung Research, Thrombosis Research), and clinical departments. The OSTM program encourages partnerships between clinical researchers and basic scientists, creating an integrated training environment for students pursuing translational biology. Research opportunities encompass cardiovascular health, vascular biology, molecular pharmacology, metabolic conditions, stem cell research, and pulmonary/musculoskeletal function studies.
