Ph.D. Program in Biomedical Sciences: Training the Next Generation of Independent Research Scientists
Offered by the Division of Biomedical Sciences within the School of Medicine at UC Riverside, the Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences is an interdisciplinary translational research program that incorporates a medical school curriculum with basic science training.
