MCB Program at the University of Washington

Recognizing the need for highly trained scientists conversant across disciplines, the University of Washington and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center have collaborated to create an interdisciplinary research program, the Molecular and Cellular Biology Graduate Program (MCB).

For more than 15 years, MCB has combined the strengths of the FHCRC together with ten top UW departments --from Biochemistry to Pharmacology-- in order to foster an innovative and flexible graduate training program.

Joined recently by the Institute for Systems Biology and the Seattle Biomedical Research Institute, MCB offers a broad range of opportunities for research in all areas of biomedical science.


Domestic Applications:
All MCB Program application materials must be submitted online by December 1.

International Applications: All required application materials must be received in Graduate Admissions Office by November 1. The MCB Program application must be complete and submitted online by November 1.

For more information on how to apply, see our Applications page.
