The Tri-Institutional PhD Programs at Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences (WCGS) offer interdisciplinary graduate training in various fields of biomedical research. These programs are part of the collaborative effort between Weill Cornell Medicine, Rockefeller University, and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Each program provides rigorous training in research methodologies, critical thinking, and scientific communication, preparing students for careers in academia, industry, and more.
Each program administers their own separate application. Please visit the website of the program you are interested in to learn more.
The Tri-Institutional PhD Program in Chemical Biology (TPCB) at WCGS is a dynamic, interdisciplinary graduate program dedicated to understanding biological processes through the lens of chemistry. It combines chemical synthesis, biophysical methods, and molecular biology to explore fundamental biological questions and develop innovative therapeutic strategies.
The Tri-Institutional Computational Biology and Medicine (CBM) program at WCGS is a multidisciplinary graduate program that integrates computational approaches with biological and medical sciences. This program equips students with the computational and analytical skills necessary to tackle complex biological questions and address challenges in medicine.
The Tri-Institutional MD-PhD Program offers an integrated curriculum that allows students to pursue both medical and graduate research training concurrently, leading to both an MD degree from Weill Cornell Medicine and a PhD degree from either Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Rockefeller University, or Gerstner Sloan Kettering Graduate School. This program aims to train physician-scientists who can bridge the gap between clinical medicine and scientific research.
