Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences (WCGS) is a long-standing partnership between the Sloan Kettering Institute and Weill Cornell Medical College, offering doctorates in eight research programs and eight Masters programs. Additionally, WCGS offers three doctoral Tri-Institutional programs that include Rockefeller University. Our mission is to train interdisciplinary scientists in basic, translational, computational and clinical research.
Doctoral Programs
Doctoral Programs at WCGS are broad and include the Biochemistry, Structural Biology, Cell Biology, Developmental Biology and Molecular Biology graduate programs collectively known as the BCMB Allied Program, Immunology and Microbial Pathogenesis, Neuroscience, Pharmacology, Physiology, Biophysics, and Systems Biology, and Population Health Sciences. The three Tri-Institutional PhD Programs are in Computational Biology and Medicine, Chemical Biology, and a MD/PhD Program.
Additional Programs
Our interdisciplinary programs train students to address scientific challenges boldly and collaboratively with our world renown faculty. The complexities and scale of scientific research require us to train the next generation of scientists to work collaboratively. We encourage this team science approach with program flexibility, access to all laboratories in the Graduate School, customized curricula, and a broad faculty composition. Students are mentored by faculty who collaborate with scientists across our institutional landscape and beyond to produce cutting edge discoveries thereby providing our trainees with the knowledge and experience for succeeding in science in the 21st century.
