This graduate program combines the resources of basic science and clinical medicine and emphasizes the molecular processes underlying human diseases. The Molecular Medicine Graduate Program is designed to prepare students for careers in biomedical research and requires approximately five years of full-time study, including course work, examinations, and dissertation research (sample curriculum).  All students complete a PhD dissertation based on original research.

The program is based in MCG's Institute of Molecular Medicine and Genetics (IMMAG), directed by Dr. Robert Yu, Professor and Eminent Scholar in Molecular and Cellular Neurobiology. The Molecular Medicine Graduate Program includes more than 60 faculty drawn from clinical and basic science departments, including the Center for Biotechnology and Genomic Medicine. All are committed to using molecular approaches to solve disease-related problems.
