Department of Cellular & Molecular Medicine
Our mission is to support and promote research and teaching in cell biology and related disciplines at UC San Diego and beyond.
About UsEducation
Graduate Education
Our graduate education programs emphasize an interdisciplinary and inter-departmental approach for studying the molecular, cellular and genetic pathways of cell function and their relationship to human disease.
Postdoctoral Training
The postdoctoral experience emphasizes scholarship and continued academic training in preparation for a permanent position in any sector.
CBIO Training Program
The Cancer Biology, Informatics & Omics (CBIO) Training Program provides training in fundamental discovery cancer research.
Research
Faculty Labs
Our faculty study fundamental cellular processes and pathways using a variety of techniques from classical genetics and fluorescence microscopy to high-throughput genomics, systems biology, and crystallography.
Research Areas
Modern cell biology is a multi-disciplinary affair. While at the cutting edge in many areas, particular strengths of the department include Glycobiology and Stem Cell Biology.
