Our most recent (2013) external review report said, “Graduate students of GMB are excellent by any criteria. They are enthusiastic, successful, collaborative, and strongly positive about the program.” The report also notes the excellent publication record and other achievement of our students. The pages listed on the menu at left detail GMB students’ publications, awards, and other achievements, as well as a description of program requirements (including detailed written policies, as they become available) and useful resources.

Our students go on to productive and prestigious careers in diverse fields related to research. Please see the BBSP Alumni Careers Outcomes page for more information (be sure the select the Curriculum in Genetics and Molecular Biology PhD program).
