The Department of Cell Biology offers an unsually strong training environment
in molecular, cell, developmental, and neurobiology. We enjoy a rich community
of predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows, all supported by institutional funds,
research grants, training grants, and individual fellowships. Our weekly
seminar series, journal clubs, monthly faculty presentations, and annual
retreat provide a highly interactive and multidisciplinary environment.
This is enhanced by close interactions with our neighboring departments
of Biochemistry, Physiology, Pharmacology, Genetics, Microbiology and
Immunology, and Pathology in the School of Medicine, and with the
Department of Biology in the College of Arts and Sciences. These
basic science faculty, along with faculty in the clinical departments,
constitute the Division of Biological and Biomedical Sciences.
