About this programme
The Biomedical and Biological Sciences (BBS) graduate program is an interdisciplinary program consisting of outstanding graduate students conducting state-of-the-art basic, clinical and translational life sciences research alongside their world-renowned faculty mentors and other research professionals. Housed in the heart of biomedical research at the Cornell-Ithaca campus in the College of Veterinary Medicine, the BBS program takes advantage of outstanding research facilities, the vibrant Cornell undergraduate campus and strong links to the Weill Cornell Medical College campus in New York City. The BBS program fosters a nurturing, student-centered community of scholars that is accessible, engaging, and committed to ensuring that our graduate students reach their full potential in research, teaching, and professional development. Students in the BBS field will select special committee chairs associated with one of five concentrations: immunology and infectious disease, molecular and cellular medicine, population medicine and epidemiology, translational medicine, and zoology and wildlife conservation.
