The M.D./Ph.D. program is designed for students who are interested in a career conducting medically-related research. In general, students in the program spend the first two years in medical school, with research rotations over the summer. Years 3-6 of the program are generally spent performing Ph.D. research in a laboratory on either the Georgetown or NIH campus under the auspices of one of many available Georgetown graduate programs. Particular strengths of the Georgetown M.D./Ph.D. program include cancer research (Tumor Biology Training Program) and neuroscience (Interdisciplinary Program in Neuroscience). After completing their thesis research and successfully defending their thesis, students return to medical school to complete the final two years of clinical rotations. The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular offers Ph.D. programs in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Both programs have the same core course requirements, and students may tailor their electives to suit their individual goals. Students in either program may perform their thesis research in any of the departmental Ph.D. training laboratories; laboratory selection is based on rotations performed in the first year. Students with a background or particular interest in areas such as molecular mechanisms, proteomics or biophysics may opt for the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology program. Those who lean toward developmental or stem cell biology or other cellular processes may prefer the Cell Biology program. The Department of Cellular Biology) offers Ph.D. programs in Cell Biology. Students in either program may perform their thesis research in any of the departmental Ph.D. training laboratories; laboratory selection is based on rotations performed in the first year. Students with a background or particular interest in areas such as molecular mechanisms, proteomics or biophysics may opt for the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology program. Those who lean toward developmental or stem cell biology or other cellular processes may prefer the Cell Biology program. Graduates programs have gone on to successful careers in academia, industry, medicine, law and finance. Please feel free to contact former and current students to learn more about the department as well as living, working and commuting in Washington, DC. You may also contact members of the faculty to learn more about their research interests.
