The Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy offers a program of study leading to the Ph.D. degree. The program is designed to give students the broadest possible education with a concentration in one of the disciplines represented by the faculty of the department. We are proud of the wide range of research areas encompassed by our members.
A large number of the primary faculty have joint appointments in other departments and interdisciplinary programs, including the Committees on Genetics and Neuroscience, the Departments of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Neurology, Physiology, Pediatrics, and the Arizona Cancer Center. As a result, many students working in CBA labs are members of graduate programs outside of the department. Laboratories of Department members are housed in the College of Medicine as well as on the main campus of the University. Because of these numerous associations, students in The Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy can take advantage of all the University of Arizona has to offer in the life sciences.
