Prospective Students

M3D is an interdisciplinary and interdepartmental PhD Program designed for students who seek to pursue careers in translational research via PhD training in basic science. It is distinguished by mentorship from both a primary research mentor and a clinical mentor. M3D explicitly nurtures a dual skillset, enabling students to independently identify important questions in human health and disease and to develop the intellectual and technical skills essential to address these questions. The M3D PhD Program is designed to allow students to complete training in five years.
