UW Molecular Medicine & Mechanisms of Disease PhD Program

UW Molecular Medicine & Mechanisms of Disease PhD Program Three core courses focus on mechanisms of disease, the impact of basic science on medicine, and human genetics, providing a rigorous intellectual foundation.

The interdisciplinary M3D PhD Program trains students to use advances in basic sciences to solve problems relevant to human disease; and to use insights from human disease processes to solve fundamental biological problems. Each student participates in Chief of Medicine rounds, and in a mentored clinical rotation, in the broad area of human genetics or in a more focused area relevant to the studen

t’s thesis research. Students also choose electives reflecting their own interests from the deep and varied menu offered by UW basic science and engineering departments. Thesis research is supervised by two mentors, one a basic scientist and the other a clinician scientist. Students complement their experimental work with exposure to relevant problems in the clinic. The M3D Program is designed for students to complete PhD training in five years, preparing trainees for careers in academia, biotech, pharmaceutical industry, education, publishing, and public policy.

Our students are doing incredible things this summer. Nik Jorstad created new neurons in the retina of adult mice for the first time and was published in Nature this summer.

This is just one of the many publications that are came out this year. Please check out our website to see what else is happening in M3D!

Many retinal diseases lead to the loss of retinal neurons and cause visual impairment. The adult mammalian retina has little capacity for regeneration. By contrast, teleost fish functionally regenerate their retina following injury, and Müller glia (MG) are the source of regenerated neurons. The pro...
