Molecular and Cell Biology
This Molecular and Cell Biology PhD programme from University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) provides participants with the conceptual and technical background to investigate basic or applied problems at the molecular and cellular levels, in the life, biomedical, and bioengineering sciences.

Biology
The Biology program is offered by University of Memphis. We are excited that you are considering our program to further your education by acquiring a graduate degree.

Biological Sciences
This Biological Sciences (BIOL) PhD programme from the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) is designed to offer a broad, multidisciplinary modern education in the life sciences coupled with the development of in-depth expertise and research training within a specialized area.

Biological Science
This Biological Science PhD programme from University of Tulsa prepare you to fully grasp the challenges of this rapidly changing science and find solutions to questions that matter to you.
Biophysics
The Biophysics Graduate Program at The Ohio State University trains students to understand biological systems using the theories and methods of quantitative life science. More exactly, biophysics training involves using physics and its related sciences of physical chemistry, electrical engineering, mathematics, and computer science to research basic biological questions.
Computational Biology
The graduate field of Computational Biology at Cornell University offers Ph.D. degrees in the development and application of data-analytical and theoretical methods, mathematical modeling and computational simulation techniques to the study of biological systems.
Behavioral Biology
Requirements for the Ph.D. degree include a minimum one semester of teaching experience, a survey course in neurobiology behavior, and an annual meeting of the Special Committee. The field has no formal language requirement, but one can be imposed by the student's Special Committee. The Behavioral Biology program is offered by Cornell University.
Biophysics
To ensure that each of its students receives the necessary formal training and research experience to develop a successful career, the Biophysics Group at University of California, Berkeley created an academic program that is tailored to meet the needs of each student individually.
Quantitative and Computational Biology
The Program in Quantitative and Computational Biology (QCB) from Princeton University is intended to facilitate graduate education at the interface of biology and the more quantitative sciences and computation.
Pathobiology
Pathobiology at Johns Hopkins University is an integrative discipline that looks simultaneously at the whole organism and its component cells, tissues, and molecules to study the causes and mechanisms of disease. It is a discipline that strives to understand the mechanisms of disease at fundamental levels.
Oral Biology
The oral biology doctoral program is an interdisciplinary program consisting of twenty-nine faculty from three health sciences colleges (dentistry, medicine, and veterinary medicine) and the Comprehensive Cancer Center. The Oral Biology program is offered by The Ohio State University.
Evolution, Ecology and Organismal Biology
The Department of Evolution, Ecology and Organismal Biology (EEOB) at The Ohio State University offers a PhD program that leads to mastery of the fundamental principles in the student’s area of interest in the general realm of evolution, ecology and organismal biology.
Biophysics
Biophysics from University of California, San Francisco spans research at the interface of physics, chemistry, and biology.
Horticultural Biology
Although emphasis is on horticultural plants and systems commonly found in areas of temperate climate, graduate study on species and cropping systems of tropical areas is also possible by use of our extensive greenhouse and growth chamber facilities, and through conduct of thesis research in tropical areas. The Horticultural Biology program is offered by Cornell University.
Biochemistry - Chemical Biology
The Biochemistry - Chemical Biology program from McGill University is engaged in a diverse range of research topics which span structural biology, enzymology, nucleic acid research, signalling pathways, single molecule biophysics, and biophysical chemistry of living tissues.
Plant Biology
The Plant Biology program offered by The University of Vermont offers a research-oriented thesis-based program a Ph.D. in Plant Biology that provides training in basic scientific research in diverse aspects of plant biology.
