Overview
The graduate programs listed above participate in the Collaborative Specialization in Developmental Biology. The objectives of the specialization are to:
-
promote and foster excellence in developmental biology research in Toronto;
-
provide a means for master's and PhD graduate students working on developmental biology projects to be exposed to a broad range of issues and approaches in modern developmental biology;
-
provide a single, comprehensive, advanced PhD-level graduate course to complement a number of introductory courses provided by different graduate units;
-
provide a forum for interaction between investigators in developmental biology in different graduate units via participation in student seminars, supervisory committees, journal clubs, retreats, and seminars/symposia.
Upon successful completion of the degree requirements of the participating home graduate unit and the collaborative specialization, students will receive the notation “Completed Collaborative Specialization in Developmental Biology” on their transcript.
