The Program in Cell, Molecular, Developmental Biology, and Biophysics (CMDB) includes faculty from Johns Hopkins University’s departments of biology, biophysics, and chemistry, as well as from the Carnegie Institution for Science Department of Embryology.
CMDB graduate students participate in a core curriculum that includes molecular biology, cellular biology, developmental biology, and biophysics. Students broaden their knowledge in these areas throughout their graduate training while specializing in their own research areas. Through this cross-training, PhDs emerge from the CMDB program prepared to tackle complex problems in the biosciences.
