The field of Cell and Developmental Biology (CDB) offers comprehensive education in core aspects of cellular science, organismal development, and regenerative processes, with opportunities to earn either Master's or PhD degrees through research. Those aiming for careers in biotech or pharmaceuticals can also obtain an MS in Applied Biochemistry and Cell Biology through the Professional Master's Program.
CDB research spans fundamental discoveries, practical applications, and clinical translations in cellular and developmental sciences. Our interdisciplinary projects connect with all other MCB concentration areas, exploring diverse subjects like cellular movement regulation, cytoskeleton behavior, stress responses in cells, microbe-host relationships, gene expression controls in growth and healing, immune system signaling, immunomodulatory compound identification, stem cell research, and disease modeling in animals.
