The University of Florida Genetics Institute is a multi-college, multi-faceted research center. Good geneticists are integrative geneticists, who incorporate many different subfields of genetics into their work. The core mission is to improve the quality of life of people throughout the world via integrative, genetics-based research. Accordingly, faculty interests and graduate research opportunities include a wide range of areas from advances in gene therapy to understanding the maintenance of genetic variation, from understanding plant immune responses to developing improved algorithms for identifying regulatory motifs in DNA sequences, and from the challenges of bioethics to strategies for controlling malaria. The highlight of the first year core training is the research rotations program. Student laboratory rotations are a particularly exciting feature of the genetics and genomics doctoral program, and epitomize the philosophy that good geneticists are broadly trained and integrative. Many current Graduate Faculty members still vividly recall the transforming effects of their rotations during graduate school–they didn’t always end up where they expected! Rotations can open students’ eyes to areas of genetics that they had never considered and entice them into considering brand new career opportunities. Each student will sample the breadth and depth of genetics research at UF by carrying out three 8-week modules consisting of design, implementation, and analysis of genetics experiments.

About University of Florida UF is a major, public, comprehensive, land-grant, research university. The state's oldest, largest and most comprehensive university, Florida is among the nation's most academically diverse public universities. Florida has a long history of established programs in international education, research and service. It is one of only 17 public, land-grant universities that belongs to the Association of American Universities. History In 1853, the state-funded East Florida Seminary took over the Kingsbury Academy in Ocala. The seminary moved to Gainesville in the 1860s and later was consolidated with the state's land-grant Florida Agricultural College, then in Lake City. In 1905, by legislative action, the college became a university and was moved to Gainesville. Classes first met with 102 students on the present site on Sept. 26, 1906. UF officially opened its doors to women in 1947. With more than 50,000 students, Florida is now one of the five largest universities in the nation.
