Overview

Students will develop competencies in tissue engineering, imaging for cell biology, bioinformatics, extracellular matrix biology and cell signaling. Formal training in grant proposal and scientific writing as well as weekly research discussion groups complete the student research and academic experience.

Features

The Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine program at Thomas Jefferson University brings together faculty members across disciplines to offer students opportunities to craft their thesis research in a vibrant scientific environment with state-of the-art facilities.

Students' research and education is fully supported through NIH training grants, endowed fellowships, investigator-initiated research grants, or individual graduate fellowships. The students also receive financial support to present their research findings at regional, national, and international scientific conferences.

Graduates of the program have gone on to successful research careers in both academia and industry.
