The BBSC
provides a desirable environment for collaborative interactions with over 350
nationally and internationally renowned graduate faculty across
multidisciplinary research areas. The BBSC is composed of three 16-week
foundation courses (Biochemistry, Cell Biology, and Molecular Biology &
Genetics), a series of 8-week integrative electives, laboratory rotations, and a
set of specialized courses and activities (ethics, seminar, statistics, and
orientation).
