The 9‐credit doctoral minor in Developmental, Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology provides graduate students with solid course training in the field. In order to coax the human body to regenerate damaged or diseased tissue, a fundamental understanding of developmental and stem cell biology is required. Through the many courses offered in this minor program, students will gain foundational knowledge in the field with a focus on critical thinking, oral and written presentation of material. Students interested in advanced academic pursuits in developmental, stem cell and regenerative biology and those interested in pursuing work in stem cell and regenerative medicine for their future careers are encouraged to apply.
