Molecular Biosciences
The Molecular Biosciences Program is an exciting interdisciplinary collaboration between the College of Agriculture, Biotechnology and Natural Resources, the School of Medicine and the College of Science. The program offers students more than 30 areas of research opportunity, including genetics, infectious diseases, nutrition, bioinformatics and smooth muscle biology. As a student, you also enjoy access to faculty with a broad range of specializations across the biological and biomedical sciences.
Pharmacology
The University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine Department of Pharmacology studies the therapeutic value and/or potential toxicity of chemical agents on biological systems.
Physiology and Cell Biology
Research in the Department of Physiology & Cell Biology focuses on smooth muscle biology, ion channels, neuropharmacology, gastric motility, developmental neuroscience, and reproductive biology.
Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology and Physiology
The Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology & Physiology Graduate Program is a campus-wide interdisciplinary program for Ph.D. and MS students, part of the Molecular Biosciences Program at the University of Nevada, Reno.
Microbiology and Immunology
