The Graduate Program in Molecular Biology, Cell Biology and Biochemistry (MCB) is a truly interdisciplinary and interdepartmental program that offers students of superior ability and motivation excellent preparation for a career that includes research in biological and medical sciences.
Our goal is identify students with the capacity to develop into independent research scientists.
MCB Graduate Program at Brown University
Our mission is to build and sustain an equitable and inclusive training environment in which a diverse group of PhD students will successfully gain quantitative, conceptual, technical, and professional skills that will allow them to conduct the rigorous and reproducible research that interdisciplinary life science demands.
“ There's no textbook...because we're at the very tip of the field. So it's kind of surreal. It's very exciting to be helping drive new discoveries and help push the field further. ”
Degree Programs
Doctoral study in MCB culminates in the PhD degree. Students may pursue training along 3 tracks: aging; genetics, genomics and systems biology; and computational molecular biology.
The 5th-Year Master's Degree provides a pathway to a Master of Arts or a Master of Science in Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, and Biochemistry for Brown undergraduate students. Students must apply for this program before they complete their undergraduate studies.
