Molecular Medicine Training Program

The Molecular Medicine Training Program (MMTP) at the University of Washington trains students to use advances in basic sciences to solve problems relevant to human disease; and to use insights from human disease processes to solve fundamental biological problems. Students may participate in the MMTP either via the interdisciplinary Molecular Medicine and Mechanisms of Disease (M3D) PhD Program, which provides a deep and relevant background for students committed to translational research; or via the Molecular Medicine Graduate Certificate Program, designed for students pursuing PhD training in departmental or interdisciplinary programs who wish to obtain foundational understanding of questions relevant to human health and disease. All MMTP students participate in courses that emphasize the significance of research to human disease. Thesis research is supervised by two mentors, one a basic scientist and the other a clinician scientist, enabling students to complement their experimental work with exposure to relevant problems in the clinic.

Molecular Medicine and Mechanisms of Disease (M3D) PhD Program

Molecular Medicine Certificate Program

Training incorporates three key elements: a case-based course emphasing application of basic science to human disease; a clinical interface course, and dual mentorship of Ph.D. research by a basic scientist and clinical mentor. It is open to students pursuing PhD training in the Departments of Biochemistry, Bioengineering, Genome Sciences, Immunology, Microbiology, Pathology, Pharmacology, Physiology & Biophysics, and in the interdisciplinary Molecular and Cellular Biology Program. The Certificate is awarded at the time of the receipt of the PhD.
