GSBS offers six different training opportunities leading to a PhD in a biomedical science discipline. These programs involve hands-on laboratory research.

The basic science programs prepare students for research-focused careers in academic institutions of higher learning or in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry.

Students can select from a wide-range of faculty who are accessible and experienced in mentoring.

Two of these programs, Mammalian Genetics at JAX and Neuro at JAX provide students with the opportunity to study at The Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, ME.
