 PSTP: Research

Research

PSTP students are actively engaged in all research areas in the College of Medicine, from molecular biology to epidemiology. Competing in today’s scientific world means opening your doors to other fields and looking beyond your lab. Here in Cincinnati, we are able to span the realm of science and take a scientific question ‘from the bench to the bedside.’ In this endeavor we are surrounded and supported by scientists of unparalleled caliber. We can work at the DNA level, study proteins in vitro, make an animal model, study the effects of a knock out on the animals’ physiology, and study the effect of genetic polymorphisms in a human population.

Graduate Programs

PSTP students are free to select labs in any graduate program at the University of Cincinnati.  These include

  1. Biomedical Engineering
  2. Cell and Cancer Biology
  3. Environmental Health
  4. Immunobiology
  5. Molecular & Developmental Biology
  6. Molecular Genetics, Biochemistry & Microbiology
  7. Molecular, Cellular & Biochemical Pharmacology
  8. Neuroscience
  9. Pathobiology & Molecular Medicine
  10. Systems Biology and Physiology

For more information about how the PSTP integrates scientific training into the program, please see our Scientist Training and Program Faculty pages.

Research Focus Areas

While the span of research topics at the University of Cincinnati is quite diverse, there are a number of distinct themes on which the research efforts focus. These focus areas highlight the major interests of the University, the faculty, and the students of the PSTP.

Research Facilities

The University of Cincinnati College of Medicine has made substantial investments in cutting-edge technologies to facilitate scientific inquiry. Evidence of these investments includes a tripling of research space at the Children's Hospital Research Foundation, construction of the Vontz Center for Molecular Studies, and establishment of the Genome Research Institute. substantial investment has also been made infrastructure for genomics, proteomics, and installation of one of the largest suites of nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers in the country.
