Overview
The objectives of the Doctoral Program in Nutritional and Metabolic Biology are to prepare individuals to conduct original basic research in nutrition and related sciences; to teach in medical universities, colleges, and graduate schools; and to pursue careers in basic and translational research at the national and international level. The Nutritional and Metabolic Biology track closely integrates with a substantial number of fields relating to human health and disease. Highly qualified baccalaureate degree holders are considered for direct admission to the Doctoral Program, as are students with master's degrees. During the first year, the doctoral program consists of advanced courses and seminars in nutrition and molecular biology, elective courses, laboratory work, and exploration of research opportunities for the dissertation topic. The second year includes additional courses, if needed; research, teaching, and seminar assignments; completion of the Qualifying Examination, and initial meeting with the Doctoral Dissertation Advisory Committee. Students meet at least once or preferably twice yearly with their Doctoral Dissertation Advisory Committee in anticipation of preparation and submission of the dissertation. Ideally, at the end of the fifth or sixth year, the research is completed, and the dissertation is defended and deposited with the University
The Doctoral Program in Nutritional and Metabolic Biology is an integral part of the biomedical training program of the Health Sciences campus. Elective courses are offered in the following departments: Anatomy, Biochemistry, Biostatistics, Genetics, Microbiology, Pathology, Pharmacology, Physiology, and Psychology. Instruction and thesis research are carried out under the guidance of the Ph.D. Program Subcommittee on Nutrition and the direct guidance of the Training Committee of the Institute. In addition, an individual three-member Doctoral Advisory Committee advises each doctoral candidate. The Institute provides facilities for thesis research.
