The Cell and Molecular Biology Program offers research opportunities from a wide variety of fields to include the molecular and cellular aspects of cancer biology, infectious disease, metabolism (includes biofuels), neuroscience, plant biology, molecular physiology, gene expression, reproductive biology, developmental biology and structural biology.<br><br>The graduate program in Cell and Molecular Biology is an interdisciplinary, degree-granting program that comprises over 100 faculty members from 17 departments and 6 colleges who share common interests in cell and molecular biology. The M.S. program core includes coursework in molecular genetics, cell biology, science communication, and ethical conduct of research. Students may also select additional courses in areas related to their interests. Two alternating graduate seminar series allow students to present their research and attend presentations by CSU faculty and nationally prominent scientists.<br><br>Core courses can typically be completed during the first year. The Plan A M.S. degree can be completed within two years. The Plan B M.S. degree can be completed within 3 semesters.
