PhD in Genetics and Molecular Biology

Emory University's graduate program in Genetics and Molecular Biology offers exciting training in the fields of genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, bioinformatics—and their related disciplines: cell biology, developmental biology, and epigenetics.

This program is designed to give students a solid foundation in the theoretical, experimental, and practical aspects of genetics. Our courses are taught by outstanding faculty members who are internationally recognized leaders in their fields, with an emphasis on the integration of biological knowledge with technology and computational approaches to research.

A wide range of research opportunities in genetic model systems and human genetic diseases, along with a strong genetics background, enables students to become highly trained specialists in their area of interest. The skills and knowledge gained through this program will prepare its graduates to be successful working in academia, government, or industry.
