The Biomedical Sciences and Engineering Graduate Program (PBSE) embodies UCSC's interdisciplinary approach to biomedical research. PBSE doctoral candidates explore biology across molecular, cellular, and systemic scales, benefiting from cutting-edge labs, computational resources, and a cooperative research atmosphere. In their first year, students can rotate through research projects with more than sixty faculty members, primarily from Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology, Biomolecular Engineering, Chemistry and Biochemistry, and Microbiology and Environmental Toxicology departments. Applicants enroll directly in PBSE, choosing among four specialized interdisciplinary pathways:
Biomolecular Engineering and Bioinformatics (BMEB)
Chemical Biology, Biochemistry and Biophysics (CB3)
Microbiology and Environmental Toxicology (METX)
Molecular, Cell and Developmental Biology (MCD)
Every pathway includes comprehensive core classes, electives, seminars, and journal clubs for thorough training in these major disciplines. Students can change pathways and are encouraged to pursue cross-disciplinary research opportunities within PBSE. A Stem Cell Research concentration will soon be offered across all pathways. For PBSE inquiries, contact Dr. Angela Brooks, the program's Director.
