Northwestern’s Biological Sciences PhD unites cell signaling, developmental genetics, ecology, and computational genomics under a single umbrella program. Students rotate through wet-labs using single-cell multi-omics to decode organoid morphogenesis, field stations tracking Great-Lakes biodiversity shifts, and data-science cores mining CRISPR screens. A professional-skills series in science policy, entrepreneurship, and inclusive pedagogy ensures graduates translate discovery into societal benefit.
