Cell and Molecular Biology (Cluster)

The Cell and Molecular Biology (CMB) cluster has three main goals.

  1. Coordinate course offerings in the areas of cell and molecular biology to ensure critical subject areas are available to graduate students who have joined a participating research group.
  2. Build a cross-campus community of research groups to promote intellectual exchange, collaborative opportunities, and sharing of technical expertise.
  3. Provide advanced training in both fundamental and novel experimental approaches through short, intensive practicum classes.

Programs and Events

The cluster is one of the main sponsors of the annual Chicago Symposium on Cell Signaling, which brings together leading researchers from around the country and the Chicago-area signal transduction community.  A poster session provides opportunities for students and postdoctoral trainees to present their work to a wider community.  The cluster also sponsors an imaging workshop in conjunction with the annual Midwest Microscopy and Microanalysis Society meeting.
