In addition to these requirements, non-native English-speaking applicants must attain a minimum Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) overall score of 96, with at least a score of 22 on the speaking section.
Applicants interested in pursuing a PhD in Cell & Developmental Biology should have a strong background in biology, chemistry, and mathematics. The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is not required.
MCB Admission requirements include a bachelor’s degree in biological or physical sciences, a grade point average of a 3.0 or higher (A = 4.0), prior research experience and three letters of recommendation from individuals who can attest to the applicant’s academic and research background. The MCB PhD program is an umbrella program that requires admitted students to spend their first semester rotating among three different labs to explore their interests before joining one of our four departments. AdmissionĪpplicants interested in the Cell & Developmental Biology, PhD program will need to apply directly to the School of Molecular and Cellular Biology (MCB) PhD program. Departmental faculty are concerned with the structural and functional relationships of cells and organisms, with research emphases upon eukaryotic cell and molecular biology, developmental biology, and molecular genetics. The graduate curriculum in Cell and Developmental Biology is designed to educate students for careers in research and teaching in the biological sciences. His work may eventually be used to study cancer progression and can be applied to other organs and systems.Īll the honorees this year include: Evan Anderson, neuroscience Elizabeth Bello, entomology Bashar Emon, mechanical science and engineering Rong “Ronny” Guo, electrical and computer engineering Nil Parikh, aerospace engineering Amanda Weiss, molecular and integrative physiology, and Yuxuan “Richard” Xie, bioengineering.For the Doctor of Philosophy in Cell & Developmental Biology head of department: Supriya Prasanth director of graduate studies: Jie Chen mcb graduate admissions email: department website: school website: college website: department office: B107 Chem and Life Sciences Lab, 601 South Goodwin Avenue, Urbana, IL 61801 phone: (217) 333-6118 Graduate Degree Program in Cell & Developmental Biology Cell & Developmental Biology, PhD He hopes it will show how cell force drives intracellular functions and how connective cells communicate with cancer cells. He hopes his new system will, for the first time, allow live imaging of cytoskeletal activities while measuring cell force and remodeling. He will combine a 3D biophysical sensor developed in Saif’s lab with Raman chemical imaging developed in Bhargava’s group. He hopes to develop a new tool to study biological processes in space and time, in both their physical and chemical components. The program offers University of Illinois graduate students at the MA, MS, or PhD level the opportunity to pursue interdisciplinary research at the Institute.Įmon is pursuing a PhD in theoretical and applied mechanics and will work with MechSE professor Taher Saif, Rohit Bhargava of bioengineering, and Kannanganattu Prasanth of cell and developmental biology.
MechSE doctoral candidate Bashar Emon was one of seven graduate students from across campus to be awarded a Beckman Institute Graduate Fellowship for the 2021-22 academic year.
