Starting in Fall 2026, The Cell Biology and Molecular Physiology (CBMP) and the Molecular Genetics and Developmental Biology (MGDB) programs have merged with Integrative Systems Biology (ISB) to form a new Cell Molecular and Systems Biology (CMSB) PhD Program.

The Cell Biology and Molecular Physiology (CBMP) graduate program is made up of a dynamic group of investigators and students who use the modern-day tools of biochemistry, genetics, imaging, and molecular biology to understand the integrated biology and physiology of cells, organs, and whole animals.
The Molecular Genetics and Developmental Biology (MGDB) program brings together faculty in both basic and applied sciences, including researchers from the School of Medicine, University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, Magee-Womens Research Institute, and Biological Sciences. MGDB research is at the cutting edge of many emerging fields, including developmental and reproductive biology, stem cell biology, proteomics, computational biology, and genomics.
