The Molecular Genetics and GenomicsProgram in the Wake Forest School of Medicine is an interdisciplinary research and PhD training program composed of a diverse group of investigators employing molecular and genetic approaches to biomedical research.

The Program includes molecular biologists from each of the basicscience departments of the School of Medicine as well as clinical facultyinvolved in laboratory research. Participating investigators include facultyfrom the departments of Biochemistry, Cancer Biology, Neurobiology and Anatomy,Medicine, Microbiology and Immunology, Pathology, Pediatrics, Physiology andPharmacology, and Surgery. Many program faculty are also members of theComprehensive Cancer Center of Wake Forest University.

Part of the first-year Molecular & Cellular Biosciences (MCB)track, the objective of the PhD training program is to provide aninterdisciplinary curriculum that emphasizes the detailed analysis of fundamentalbiological processes using the tools of molecular biology and genetics.Individualized programs of study are designed to train students for independentcareers in research and teaching. The first year MCB curriculum provides broadexposure to the fundamentals of molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry,and microbiology.

After the completion of the first year in the MCB track, studentsthat select a Molecular Genetics & Genomics research advisor beginspecialization in the research area of that laboratory. Areas of activeinvestigation include the genetics of complex diseases, genetic epidemiology,epigenetics, and bioinformatics.
