Cell Biology and Anatomy has central responsibility for the teaching of morphological sciences. Its contributions occur at the gross, microscopic and ultrastructural levels and have exerted strong influence on many areas of biology and medicine over the years. It is the desire and purpose of the Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy to express a meaningful picture of the discipline and its relationship to the synthesis of chemical, physical and biological facts in a challenging and responsible program. 

The graduate program in the Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy offers a progressive training program leading to a Ph.D. degree. The program is designed to train students for careers in modern biomedical research and education through in-depth training in one of the disciplines represented in the Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy. Laboratory research training is the primary focus of the program, and there are several research clusters to choose from in the department, research areas of faculty include heart development, neural development, cellular toxicology and microcirculation, membrane traffic and cytoskeleton, and cell-surface reception. Students, in consultation with the Graduate Studies Committee, have considerable flexibility in designing their own program of study. Required course work is minimal and only one semester of teaching is required by the program. In addition to formal lecture courses and graduate seminar courses, the program of study contains opportunities for laboratory rotations and participation in seminars, colloquia, and journal clubs in the Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy and within other programs and departments. Under special program guidelines, students admitted to the medical school class may apply to the Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy for admission to the M.D./Ph.D. program.

For detailed information concerning graduate programs in the Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy, consult the catalog of the Graduate College and the departmental Graduate Advisor, and visit the departmental website at http://www.cba.arizona.edu.
