The University of Iowa Biomedical Science Graduate Program is a first-year umbrella program that allows students the flexibility to find their path in one of seven PhD subprograms: Cancer Biology, Cell and Developmental Biology, Experimental Pathology, Free Radical & Radiation Biology, Molecular Medicine, Molecular Physiology and Biophysics, and Pharmacology. Through common didactics, immersive research experiences, and hands-on faculty mentoring, the Program is committed to providing the opportunities for graduate students to learn, explore, and pioneer life-saving discoveries to improve healthcare and public health. Our students will be the next generation of educators, researchers, and leaders of the national and international biomedical workforce.
