Our coursework in Developmental Genetics offers students a broad yet integrated curriculum in comparative developmental biology, genetics, and molecular biology. Our faculty equip students to synthesize information gleaned from an array of developmental systems and apply it to their current and future research.

In addition to courses taken by all PhD candidates at the Vilcek Institute of Graduate Biomedical Sciences, students whose research focuses on developmental biology can take the following courses.

Developmental and Stem Cell Systems
Genetics and Genomics
Topics in Molecular Biology
Cell Biology
Introduction to Molecular Genetics
Developmental Neurobiology

These courses give you in-depth familiarity with questions and methods of classical genetics, genomics, and gene technology in various model organisms and humans.

Current students can download forms for the qualifying exam, committee meeting reports, and important information on thesis defenses and graduation by logging into our student community with their Kerberos ID.
