The University of Massachusetts at Amherst
is the largest public research university in the Northeast, with an enrollment of approximately 24,000 students, including 5,300 graduate students. Ten academic departments and four interdepartmental programs offer graduate degrees in the life sciences. The interdepartmental graduate programs in Molecular and Cellular Biology (MCB) and Neuroscience and Behavior (NSB) have achieved national recognition. The MCB Program was recently ranked in the top thirty percent by the National Research Council study of graduate programs. Consistent with their biomedical interest, many of the faculty are funded by NIH research grants. In addition to well-equipped individual labs, UMass-Amherst also supports research with the following staffed facilities:
- DNA Sequencing
- Microscopy and Imaging
- NMR Spectroscopy
- Mass Spectrometry
- Biological Computing Resource Center
Students interested in becoming involved in the Collaborative Biomedical
Research Program should apply to a participating life science graduate
program such as the MCB or NSB Programs. For more information contact:
