Overview
Key facts
The Molecular and Cellular Biology program of University of Guelph is engaged in the pursuit of fundamental and applied research questions involving diverse biological systems (plants, humans and other animals, prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbes). In general, they follow lines of scientific enquiry at the level of molecules to cells.
We offer a Master’s and a Doctoral program. MSc students complete coursework and prepare and defend a research-based thesis (approximately six semesters). The PhD program requires the successful completion of a qualifying exam and the completion and defense of a research-based thesis (typically 4+ years of full-time study). Students may also add a collaborative specialization of toxicology or neuroscience.
