UCR is one of only 124 NSF-funded Integrative Graduate Education and Research Trainee (IGERT) sites.
CMDB students work on an array of research projects under the direction of their respective professors.
Students in the UCR IGERT program will do advanced chemical genomics research on small plant molecules to learn about protein functions in complex multi-cellular systems.
Plant geneticist Julia Bailey-Serres, a CMDB faculty member, is the principal investigator in this program, so you know professors in CMDB are committed to delivering top-notch interdisciplinary graduate training.
