Program Faculty and Research Areas

The mentorship, laboratory training and classroom education of doctoral students can be credited almost entirely to the tremendous investment in time and effort by the more than 160 faculty members actively involved in the graduate program.

A faculty-to-student ratio of 1:2 benefits graduate students by affording them unparalleled access to world-class scientists with expertise in a variety of research areas. The number of faculty who serve as mentors to graduate students is also high: 85 faculty members advise one or more graduate students in their laboratory.
