Welcome

Welcome to the Pathobiology & Molecular Medicine (PBMM) Graduate Program at UAB and the exciting field of translational research. This program is the successor of the popular and highly successful Integrative Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program established in 1999.  PBMM represents an expansion of the Integrative Biomedical Sciences Program and is designed to give students the very best multidisciplinary training within the emerging and exciting field of molecular medicine.  The main objective of the program is to expose students to a diverse faculty with research interests that range from molecules - to whole organisms - to disease processes - to new therapies.  Our premise is that students, when trained in basic principles of molecular and cellular biology, in addition to organ-based physiology, pharmacology, toxicology, pathology, and environmental health sciences will be prepared to study biological processes at any level of organization.  The important biomedical issues of today are sufficiently complex that the successful investigator must be able to tackle these issues using integrated, multi-faceted approaches. 

I invite you to explore our website and become familiar with the wealth of opportunity available to you within our program and at UAB.  Entry into our program is highly competitive so I urge you to apply now and accept the challenge that a career in biomedical research offers!
