Cell Biology & Anatomy
Cell biologists represent a diverse group, conversant in and committed to a wide variety disciplines:
from genetics to biochemistry, from immunology to neurobiology, from development to informatics, from genomics
to clinical medicine.
Cell Biology & Anatomy is a basic science department in the University
of Arizona College of Medicine. Faculty teach in courses
in the medical
curriculum and a number of graduate and
undergraduate courses in the life sciences. The department has
an active research program that receives more grant funding than
any other basic science department in the College of Medicine.
Faculty members pursue research programs in modern molecular and cellular biology which include areas of developmental biology, neuroscience, parasitology, immunology and cellular structure and function.
Research areas include heart development, neural
development, cellular toxicology and microcirculation, membrane traffic
and cytoskelton, cell-surface reception.
The Department of Cell Biology
and Anatomy offers a program of study leading to the Doctor of
Philosophy degree. The Master of Science degree is offered only in rare
instances in which students are unable to continue in the doctoral
program.
