Ph.D. in Molecular Medicine is a research-intensive program that focuses on the molecular and cellular mechanisms that underpin disease, with an emphasis on creating enhanced diagnostic, therapeutic, and preventive measures. The program typically lasts 3-5 years and covers molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, cell signaling, immunology, and drug development. Students conduct original research to investigate the molecular basis of diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and infectious diseases, with the goal of generating novel treatments such as gene therapies, targeted medications, and personalized medicine. Graduates frequently pursue professions in academia, pharmaceutical and biotechnology firms, medical research institutions, and healthcare. Admission typically requires a Master's degree in biomedical sciences, molecular biology, or a related discipline, as well as outstanding laboratory and research skills.
