Overview |
| |
|
The Department of Anatomy, Biochemistry and Physiology at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa
(UHM) offers graduate programs leading to the MS
and the PhD in developmental and reproductive biology. The research-oriented programs focus on fertilization and early development of higher organisms, with emphasis on evolutionary comparisons. The major focus of the program is on developmental and reproductive biology in mammals, but instructive evolutionary comparisons with other phyla will be explored.
The curriculum promotes research and requires a research rotation. At least nine well-funded laboratories led by distinguished scientists in the Institute for Biogenesis Research offer research opportunities in areas that presently include fertilization, developmental embryology, stem cells, and congenital deformities.
