Description:

Academics PMB offers outstanding programs in undergraduate and graduate education.Our faculty is consistently recognized for excellence in teaching, and are praised by students for inspiring and illuminating lectures, seminars, presentations and instructional research labs.The excitement and initiative our faculty shows in the classrom is contagious, and time and again students have said that it is a class taken by one of our instructors that inspired them to pursue a career in science. Our graduate program is second to none. Each graduate student in our PhD program receives one-on-one guidance, full funding and mentoring by the top scientists and instructors in their field. ApplyUndergraduate MajorsGraduate ProgramsLibrariesFunding, FellowshipsCoursesCurrent StudentsUndergrad Peer AdvisingGraduate Peer Advising Attention Notice – Policies and resources for the campus community on the COVID-19 global pandemic, including necessary health and safety precautions and how to obtain more information from health care providers, state health authorities, and the CDC's COVID-19 web site Megaphages harbor mini-Cas proteins ideal for gene editingIn the article, graduate student Basem Al-Shayeb comments on the discovery of the new proteins.
