The Program in Development, Cell & Neurobiology offers programs leading to M.S. and
Ph.D. degrees. Areas of concentration are cell biology, molecular biology, developmental
biology, and neurobiology. The goal of the program is to train promising students
for competitive careers in research and teaching. Students are encouraged to develop
broad expertise in the disciplines of biochemistry, molecular biology, immunology
and cell physiology. Expected time for completion of the master's degree program is
two to three years, while the Ph.D. degree is typically a four to five year program. |
|
| Students become involved in ongoing research projects during the first year in laboratory rotation and are encouraged to identify a dissertation adviser during this period or shortly thereafter. After the second year of the Ph.D. program, a student may qualify to take a broad-based preliminary examination. Upon satisfactory completion, the student is entered into candidacy. Course work should be largely completed at this time, and candidates may concentrate on their dissertation research. Students receive close, individual training in laboratory technique and scientific acumen from the graduate faculty. Faculty members are integrally involved with the LSUHSC Neuroscience Center of Excellence, the LSUHSC Eye Center, and the LSUHSC Stanley S. Scott Cancer Center. Interaction with other members of these centers is encouraged. | |

All students admitted to the Ph.D. program will receive tuition waivers, stipend and medical insurance.

Reasonably priced apartments can also be found throughout the greater New Orleans area. The local newspaper, the Times Picayune, and the Gambit Weekly are good resources for apartment hunting. |
