Cell and Molecular Biology PictCell and Molecular Biology
The program in Cell and Molecular Biology includes courses and research opportunities in developmental biology, cell signaling and gene regulation, cancer biology, genetics, biochemistry, microbiology, physiology, and membrane structure and function.  An associated program is the interdisciplinary program in molecular biology, cell biology, and biochemistry (MCBB).
