Areas of Training
The graduate program in Genetics and Molecular Biology (GMB) at Emory University offers an exciting broad
based training in the fields of genetics and molecular biology and their related disciplines of biochemistry,
bioinformatics, cell biology, developmental biology and statistics. Research interests of the faculty vary in
topic, approach and model organism. This interdepartmental graduate program derives its faculty from ten
different departments including those from the departments of Human Genetics, Biology, Biochemistry,
Cell Biology, Microbiology & Immunology, Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, Pharmacology, and the Winship
Cancer Institute. A wide range of research opportunities in bacterial, viral, human and eukaryotic model
system genetics enable students to specialize in their area of interest while obtaining an essential
foundation in genetics. Areas of emphasis listed below are supported by state-of-the-art research facilities.
Research programs of the faculty fall into six major areas:
