A doctoral degree is the highest-level degree a student can attain from an educational institution and requires intense discipline and study. One common title is the PhD, short for Doctor of Philosophy, which indicates that a person completing a PhD has gained the highest possible level of knowledge in a subject.

So what is a PhD in Genetics? A doctorate in genetics focuses on advanced studies in the genetics of humans or other species, as well as biology, biotechnology, and key areas of science depending on the student’s area of focus. The degree program typically centers on applying the student’s studies in real ways that advance the particular field of science the student is involved in. This can include advanced research programs and fellowships, often partnering with more senior scientific staff on long-term and short-term projects.

Doctoral students gain scientific and technical skills that provide an advantage in specialized work. Skills such as how to model a protein in bioinformatics and how to conduct ELISA assays require dedication, but students can also learn practical skills such as writing, editing, and publishing white papers.

The length and type of doctoral program may affect cost to complete, as well as the size and location of the institution. Individual universities have different cost scales and can provide information on their particular programs.

With a PhD in Genetics, students often progress into highly specialized careers. Students focusing on bioinformatics may become a bioinformatician, working at the forefront of information management in the digital aspect of biological sciences. Or, depending on their focus and preference, students may pursue a role as a neuroscientist studying the impact of genetics on the brain and how to use that information to prevent or cure brain diseases. Graduates with a PhD in Genetics may even feed back into the academic program, taking on a role as a mentor or professor.

Students may find the right PhD program locally or abroad, but many universities also offer online study, giving unprecedented access to their degree programs.

Featured
The discipline is focused on physical anthropology and human biology, genetics, ecology, and ethology. It deals predominantly with ontogenetic and phylogenetic development of man, morphological variability and evolution of populations, ethnic anthropology and ethnology, human growth and its disorders, body composition and nutrition, the action of environmental and social factors on man, human behavior and with characteristics at various levels of the biologic organization and their heredity. Molecular genetics includes analyses of different human receptor genes and genetic polymorphisms in variable regions of human chromosomes. Applied specialties include forensic, functional, clinical and industrial anthropology. Special position occupies skeletal and dental anthropology. -

The subjects applied specific molecular approaches in the detailed exploration of the heredity and variability of organisms the uncovering of the structural and functional relations between information macromolecules (nucleic acids and proteins) as the basis of the existence and manifestation/expression of living matter at all levels of complexity of its organization. It is concerned with the structure and function of genes, the biosynthesis of proteins as gene products – gene expression and its regulation. Classical and molecular biological approaches are applied to all biological objects in normal and pathological states with the aim of discovering, understanding and purposefully modifying the mechanisms of all their manifestations, including the viral level and gene therapy. -
