Graduate
Departments and Degree Programs
Students in the Division of Graduate Medical Sciences
(GMS) -the focus of graduate education in the biomedical sciences at
Boston
University Medical Center - are provided with the opportunity of
undertaking
study and research in the well-equipped laboratory facilities of the
preclinical
departments that make up the Division. PhD degree and
MD/PhD
degree study is available in
- Anatomy and
Neurobiology,
- Behavioral
Neuroscience,
- Biochemistry,
- Biomedical
Neuroscience,
- Biophysics,
- Cell
and Molecular Biology,
- Genetics and Genomics,
- Immunology,
- Medical
Nutrition Sciences,
- Microbiology,
- Molecular
Medicine,
- Oral
Biology,
- Pathology,
- Pharmacology,
- Physiology
MA degree study is available in
all of the above areas of study
except Behavioral Neuroscience, Cell & Molecular Biology, Oral
Biology, and Molecular Medicine, as well as the following areas of
study:
M.S. degree study is available
in
Interdepartmental training and
research programs in molecular and
cellular biology, immunology, human genetics, and neuroscience are also
available. Dual degree programs with the School of Medicine, the School
of Public Health, the College of Engineering, and the School of
Management are an ever-expanding aspect of current multi-dimensional
biomedical research and education. Specific requirements and research
opportunities in these various areas are outlined elsewhere.
To accommodate the growth in
these areas and in research emanating
from
the basic science departments, significant additions to the School's
physical
plant have been made and more are underway.
These additions to research
space will help to perpetuate an
environment
conducive to integrated inquiry between basic scientists and clinical
investigators.
Indeed, the prevalence of joint appointments between basic sciences and
clinical departments attests to the high level of cooperation between
scientists
and clinicians in the conceptualization, discovery, development, and
testing
of new therapeutic methods and pharmacological products.
