Register Now for the 2008 PMCB Workshop!

The Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology Program at the University of Florida is an interdepartmental degree program with a strong emphasis in molecular biology, cell biology, genetics, biochemistry, and pathology of plants.

PMCB is one of the most flexible and comprehensive programs of its kind and its success has resulted from the interdepartmental organization structure. Individual degree plans can range in emphasis from the most practical applications to the most fundamental problems.

PMCB has over 30 faculty members in the program. They are based in the departments of Agronomy, Botany, Environmental Horticulture, Forest Resources and Conservation, Horticultural Sciences, Microbiology and Cell Science, Molecular Genetics and Microbiology, Plant Pathology and Soil and Water Science within the colleges of Medicine, Liberal Arts and Sciences and Agriculture and Life Sciences.

The PMCB program offers degrees at the Masters and Ph.D. level. Undergraduate students can obtain full-time research experience through the PMCB-sponsored Undergraduate Research Internship Program and UF undergraduate students have the option of a minor in PMCB.

The PMCB program is designed so graduate students can take full advantage of the collective scientific and knowledge resources of the faculty. Applicants are encouraged to contact faculty in areas of interest regarding potential openings in their research laboratories.
