The Curriculum in Genetics and Molecular Biology (CGMB) is an interdepartmental graduate program that trains students to be creative, sophisticated research scientists prepared to pursue careers in academic, government, or commercial positions. The program is Chaired by Robert Duronio, PhD.

Students conduct their dissertation research under the supervision of one of the 78 faculty members of the Curriculum. Research in these laboratories employs diverse experimental approaches, from classical genetics to the most modern molecular methods, to address a broad range of contemporary problems in biomedical science.
