The Molecular and Developmental Biology Graduate Program at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Research Foundation teaches students to do independent research and apply the scientific method to specific biological questions.
To get an overview of possibilities, first-year students complete two to four laboratory rotations with faculty members, pursuing research in areas of their interest. Students then select a faculty advisor and develop a dissertation project. They have no teaching or outside requirements in addition to their dissertation research, although teaching opportunities are available.
It is expected that students will make significant and novel scientific contributions that result in publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
