Entrance to the Microbiology and Molecular Genetics Graduate Program is handled by an umbrella program known as Molecular Biosciences, which is sponsored by the Rutgers School of Graduate Studies. Molecular Biosciences manages admission, first-year core curriculum, laboratory rotations, and first-year advising.
Students are supported financially with stipends from Molecular Biosciences in the early years and then by research grants of the faculty mentor in subsequent years. Students seeking additional funding can find resources at Rutgers Gradfund, which provides workshops, webinars, peer mentoring and a comprehensive catalog of funding opportunities.
Support may also be available for eligible students through our partnership with the IMSD @ Rutgers New Brunswick program. Travel funds are available for Biochemistry students to attend scientific conferences.
