Molecular and Developmental Biology Graduate Program

Being a Student

The Molecular and Developmental Biology Graduate Program at the University of Cincinnati and Cincinnati Children's Research Foundation is defined by its thorough preparation of students in both the classroom and the laboratory.

All students must complete required courses in developmental biology, graduate-level biochemistry, molecular biology and cell biology. As students prepare to enter their second year, they initiate their research and spend more time in the lab and less time in the classroom.

But what is it really like to be one of our graduate students? That's why this section is here. You can discover:

• What kinds of courses you can expect to take
• What topics are generally covered in your Embryology and Developmental Biology courses
• How to find the requirements of graduate students
• Who our current students are and what they do
• What our alumni do after they graduate
• How to become involved with the University of Cincinnati
