Integrated Program in Biomedical Sciences

Welcome to the Integrated Program in Biomedical Sciences Website

Faculty members in the following departments have joined together to form an interdisciplinary graduate program, the Integrated Program in Biomedical Sciences (IPBS): Anatomy and Neurobiology, Molecular Sciences, Pathology, Pharmacology, and Physiology. Students should apply to the IPBS to work with researchers in these departments.

The IPBS offers exceptional features:

  • Over 150 participating faculty members from UTHSC, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and the Veterans Affairs Medical Center
  • 7 different tracks representing the best of contemporary biology
  • Interdisciplinary training that is essential in today’s research environment
  • Flexibility: students may select from laboratories in any of the tracks to identify a Research Advisor and are not limited by departmental barriers found in traditional graduate programs
