Basic Medical Sciences (BMS)
The
Department of Basic Medical Sciences (BMS) offers graduate programs leading to
the Master of Science (M.S.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) degrees. The
Department emphasizes integrative studies that are applicable to animal and
human health. Discovery activities range
from studies of molecular and cellular processes to studies of the whole animal,
in areas of cell and tissue growth, differentiation, regeneration, and numerous
aspects of cancer biology. BMS faculty
currently have active research programs in the areas of cancer biology;
musculoskeletal biomechanics and
skeletal adaptation; neural development, mechanisms of injury and regeneration;
tissue dynamic spectroscopy; cellular
and molecular screening; and high throughput analysis of cell function. Our directory of faculty research interests
describes in more detail the exciting research that is conducted in BMS.
