Biology PhD Program的分子，细胞和生物生物学（MCOB）学科是一个跨学科的，整合的生物学程序，它整合了细菌，植物，无脊椎动物和哺乳动物的细胞，分子和生物生物学的基础研究。学生可以选择集中于以下领域中的一个或多个：生物修复，分子生物学和细胞生物学，防御机制，发育生物学，遗传学，分子生态学，有机生理学，分子进化，环境监测，生物信息学和生殖生物学。您还将学习细菌学，微生物学，蛋白质组学，植物分子生物学和系统生物学。在教职顾问的帮助下，从MCOB教职员工的广泛研究兴趣中设计了一个衔接性课程。
The molecular, cellular, and organismal biology (MCOB) track of the Biology PhD Program is an interdisciplinary, integrative biology program that integrates basic research in cellular, molecular and organismal biology of bacteria, plants, invertebrates, and mammals. Students may choose to concentrate in one or more of these areas: bioremediation, molecular biology and cellular biology, defense mechanisms, developmental biology, genetics, molecular ecology, organismal physiology, molecular evolution, environmental monitoring, bioinformatics, and reproductive biology. You'll also study bacteriology, microbiology, proteomics, plant molecular biology, and systems biology. With the help of a faculty advisor, a cohesive course of study is designed from among a wide variety of research and study interests of MCOB faculty.
