The class meets once weekly. In the fall semester, graduate students critically evaluate research publications in areas of active research in the department (e.g., gene transcription, molecular biology, electrophysiology, membrane transport, intercellular signaling, beta cell biology, and regulation of intermediary metabolism). Also, there are faculty presentations on ancillary science skills, such as oral and poster presentations, and grant and proposal writing. In the spring semester, each student presents and defends a short research proposal based on their current research area in preparation for their Candidacy Examination. FALL, SPRING.
