Overview
Our community size of ~50 Molecular, Cellular & Developmental Biology students at the University of Pittsburgh is large enough to catalyze exchange of innovative ideas, but small enough so that each student gets close attention from their faculty mentor.
Being a scientist is more than doing experiments. Our courses give knowledge and critical-thinking skills. Our workshops develop skills in writing, grantsmanship and presentation. Our ethics courses give framework and guidance. Our seminars teach you to think on your feet. Our students get grants, give seminars at national meetings and publish high-impact, first-author papers.
Our graduates use their training to get the jobs they want, moving on to post-docs at prestigious universities, faculty positions at teaching colleges, jobs in government or industry, or additional education in law school or medical school.
