博士 分子与细胞生物学（MOCB）计划结合了自然与数学科学学院和UMBC工程学院几个系的大量教职资源和研究设施，为学生提供了跨学科，最新的教育经验那些希望接受分子和细胞生物学高级培训的人。该计划为参与者提供概念和技术背景，以研究生命，生物医学和生物工程科学领域中分子和细胞水平的基本或应用问题。MOCB计划的目的是提供有关分子和细胞生物学的强化，创新但基础广泛的培训。为了确保学生有适当的基础，该课程规定了一组生物化学，遗传学和分子生物学（原核和真核）高级研究生课程。此外，通过参加至少一个三学分的研究生研讨会
The Ph.D. program in Molecular and Cell Biology (MOCB) combines the substantial faculty resources and research facilities of several departments of the College of Natural and Mathematical Sciences and the College of Engineering at UMBC to offer an interdisciplinary, state-of-the-art educational experience for those desiring advanced training in molecular and cell biology. The program provides participants with the conceptual and technical background to investigate basic or applied problems at the molecular and cellular levels, in the life, biomedical, and bioengineering sciences. The intent of the MOCB program is to provide an intensive, innovative but broadly-based training in molecular and cell biology. To assure that students have a proper grounding the program prescribes a set of advanced graduate classes in biochemistry, genetics and molecular biology (prokaryotic and eukaryotic). In addition, students get specific training in some aspect of molecular and cell biology by participating in at least one three-credit graduate seminar and by continued participation in research seminars (or journal clubs) in their area of concentration.
