Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology from Iowa State University is a Campus Master Anatomy degree that prepares you for a Science career. Molecular, Cellular , and Developmental Biology (MCDB) is an interdisciplinary program that allows graduate students to explore and discover the mechanisms of life processes. We offer a wide range of graduate research opportunities in plant, animal, and microbial systems at the cellular and molecular levels. The collaborative research efforts of over 50 (and growing) faculty in twelve departments provide an outstanding environment for graduate education and intellectual development. In the first year, students usually select a permanent lab for their Ph.D. research by participating in laboratory rotations that involve temporary but substantial research projects. After completing a balanced program of classroom study, and a major body of independent research that contributes significant new knowledge to the life sciences, the student is awarded a doctor of philosophy degree in Molecular, Cellular , and Developmental Biology. Career Opportunities Graduates of the MCDB program are highly qualified researchers with a solid grounding in molecular , cellular and developmental biological sciences. Moreover, they have the ability to think and perform research independently. This breadth and depth of training provides graduates with a wide field of post-graduate career opportunities. Many of our graduates choose research and/or teaching careers at major universities, medical schools, or small colleges. Other graduates choose positions in agricultural or pharmaceutical companies, or government laboratories. View more details on Iowa State University .
