CSD Graduate Program

Medical use of stem cells holds great promise for treatment of human diseases and birth defects. But to advance use of stem cells in the clinic, scientists must continue to make fundamental discoveries of how cells function, and how cells i​n embryos form the different tissues of the body. Our faculty and students are linked by their common interest in understanding cells in the contexts of development, regeneration and disease.

 

The CSD program thus trains PhD students in 3 interrelated disciplines, Stem Cells, Cell Biology, and Development.

 

Our doctoral students: 1) Complete an integrated curriculum; 2) Interact with international and national research leaders via our seminar series, and our student run research retreat; and 3) Receive training in hypothesis testing, experimental design, data analysis and interpretation, grant writing, and oral and written presentation skills.

Finger Lab Barlow Lab >> We are working to understand how the sense of taste develops in embryos and is maintained throughout adult life.

Finger Lab Finger Lab >> Solitary chemosensory cells (green) detect airbone irritants and evoke protective airway responses by transmitting the signal to nerve fibers (red).

Artinger Lab Artinger Lab >> Zebrafish mutagenesis screens help to understand how neural plate border and neural crest cell fate is specified during development.
