Graduate Research Fellow Reproductive & Developmental Biology

Developmental and Reproductive Biology Graduate Program The DRB program is affiliated with the Yanagimachi Institute for Biogenesis Research (YIBR). The YIBR was built in honor of one of the university's most distinguished scientists, Dr. Ryuzo Yanagimachi, whose fifty-year career included many significant advances in reproduction. The YIBR is one of the few reproductive and developmental biology centers in the USA. The YIBR and DRB graduate faculty form a vibrant community of investigators spread across many labs. The major focus of YIBR research is reproductive and developmental biology, with emphasis on gametogenesis, assisted reproductive technologies (ART), cloning and nuclear reprogramming, transgenesis, mammalian early development, devo-evo, stem cells, and other. The DRB program is small and students are provided with personalized support. It serves a diverse community of students from a wide range of nationalities, cultures, and backgrounds. It offers students various lecture and lab courses and a wide variety of research opportunities. Research is supported by a large range of research platforms, state-of-the-art equipment, and research support. Collectively this creates a highly productive and enjoyable scientific environment in which to undertake a MS and/or PhD. You can take a glimpse into DRB here: DRB Video .
