BBS NIH Funded Training Programs

The BBS Program has numerous specialized NIH Training Programs which support many of our top students.

Predoctoral Program in Cellular, Molecular and Quantitative Biology
This NIH funded Cellular, Molecular and Quantitative Biology Training Program (CMQBTP) is designed to provide training for graduate students interested in learning cell biological, molecular, genetic, biophysical, and biochemical principles from a rigorous and quantitative perspective.
Medical Research Scholars Program
The Medical Research Scholars Program bridges barriers between traditional predoctoral and medical training by providing both medically oriented coursework and a mentored clinical experience to select BBS students.
Chemistry/Biology Interface (CBI)
Yale Graduate Studies in Chemical Biology combine the strengths of selected faculty from the Chemistry Department, the Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology Department, the Pharmacology Department , and the Department of Molecular Biophysics & Biochemistry. Some faculty are part of the Institute of Biomolecular Design and Discovery. PhD students often join Chemical Biology labs by applying to PhD programs through the Chemistry Department, or by applying to the Yale Biological and Biomedical Sciences program and choosing the Biochemistry, Quantitative Biology, Biophysics ...
Predoctoral Pharmacology Training Program (PPTP)
Students that are accepted in to the Predoctoral Pharmacology Training Program (PPTP) will be offered a unique training experience focused in the pharmaceutical sciences. The objectives of the PPTP are to train graduate students for a research career in academia, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, or government research agencies in the general area of pharmacology.
Training Program in Genetics
The Training Program in Genetics integrates PhD students and faculty spanning several Yale Departments - primarily Genetics, MCDB, and EEB - who leverage genetics concepts and techniques in their research. In our monthly Research-In-Progress meetings and our annual Retreats and Symposia, we come together to discuss topics as varied as the molecular underpinnings of gene expression, the development of new genetic techniques and analyses, and the ecological drivers of evolution.
Yale Cancer Biology Training Program (CBTP)
The Yale Cancer Biology Training Program provides a unique cancer-focused training experience intended to develop the next generation of cancer scientific leaders. Training covers the genetic and biological underpinnings of cancer, the pathway to development of new therapies based upon this knowledge, and the practical challenges in applying these new therapies in cancer clinics.
