Overview
The Department of Molecular Genetics, Biochemistry and Microbiology offers a nationally visible doctoral program for students interested in laboratory research and advanced training at a top competitive level. The program provides multiple laboratory opportunities in the molecular aspects of modern biomedical research, and is complemented by an extensive choice of courses across the disciplines of molecular genetics, biochemistry, microbiology, immunology, and bioinformatics. We have developed our research programs in several 'focus areas' namely: cancer biology and regenerative medicine, cardiovascular biology and biochemistry, microbiology and immunology, and structural biology. Each represents a dynamic research area within the flourishing field of molecular medicine. Many individual research programs directly impact questions of human biology and disease. Thus, the doctoral program offers diverse opportunities in research while integrating the fundamental knowledge base required for tomorrow's biomedical scientist, providing training and experience that is second-to-none.
In biology and medicine, the coming decades will be dominated by application of information derived from knowledge of the human genome. Our ongoing commitment is to ensure that students graduating from this program are equipped with the highest technical, intellectual and communication skills required for successful participation in this exciting future.

For our graduate programs, we welcome applications from students who hold a baccalaureate degree (or higher) from a college or university regarded as standard by a regional or general accrediting agency, and have at least a B average in undergraduate course work (or otherwise give evidence of promise that is judged satisfactory by the admitting program and the Graduate School).
Standardized Tests of English Proficiency
Most students fulfill the English requirement by taking the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), the International English Testing System (IELTS), or the PEARSON Test of English (PTE). For IELTS, an overall band score of 7.0 is sufficient for graduate admission. For PEARSON, a score of 47 is sufficient. TOEFL requirements vary based on the type of TOEFL test taken, and scores are valid for up to two years. The minimum university requirement is: 520 (paper-based test), or 190 (computer-based test), or 100 (internet-based test).
Applicants for the Doctoral Programs are encouraged to submit application materials by December 15 for matriculation in the Fall Semester of the following year. Applications submitted up until January 15 will be considered, pending availability of space.
*There may be different IELTS requirements depending on your chosen course.
The balance of teaching quality and real-world experience has secured UC鈥檚 position amongst the world鈥檚 premier higher education institutions.
