MCP is not listed as a separate option on the Integrated Biological
Sciences program web site, but it is an option for summer research.
List the Cellular and Molecular Biology Program as your top choice on
the application and specifically identify the MCP program as your area
of interest in the essay.
Dr. Janet Branchaw is the Director of the IBS-SRP Program.
The Molecular
and Cellular Pharmacology Program gives minority and disadvantage undergraduate
students the opportunity to explore careers in the molecular and cellular
pharmacological field. Students will engage in research focused on signal
transduction, dissection of signaling pathways in Drosophila,
to the mechanisms of transcriptional control, as well as the mechanisms
of action in various drugs. Students will receive guidance from faculty,
graduate students, and other scientists in laboratory techniques used
to carry out a well-defined research project. Students will learn essential
research skills, problem-solving skills, and work one-on-one with a
faculty/staff mentor on a chosen research topic. Students will prepare
a brief research proposal, a written report and an oral presentation
on their chosen topic. There are 39 faculty actively involved in Molecular
and Cellular Pharmacology research activities.
Eligibility:
1. U.S. citizenship
or permanent residence is required.
2. Preference given to African American, Hispanic, Native American, Southeast
Asian, Native Alaskan or Native Pacific Islander or students who are McNair
