Participating Departments
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]INP comprises faculty from 6 UCI academic departments, located within the School of Biological Sciences and the School of Medicine. This integrated group works together to coordinate training in the classroom and laboratory to first year graduate students in the INP . They also serve as advisors to aid students with course and rotation choices, as well as decisions concerning dissertation work.
Once a student has successfully completed the INP, they transition to the graduate department of their chosen mentor.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]

Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The department of Anatomy and Neurobiology focuses on exploring fundamental issues in the structure and function of the nervous system, particularly its development and response to injury. Emphasis is placed on cellular, molecular, and systems based approaches to this study.[/vc_column_text][unidash_button url=”http://www.anatomy.uci.edu/”]Learn More[/unidash_button][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”912″ img_size=”medium”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]
Department of Physiology and Biophysics
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The department of Physiology and Biophysics participates in a wide spectrum of research activities. Departmental research falls between the entirely medical and the entirely molecular, and its objective is to understand how proteins function in catalyzing metabolically important reactions in cells, how signals such as those carried by hormones are transmitted from one cell to another, and how specialized cells such as muscle fibers perform their intended functions[/vc_column_text][unidash_button url=”http://www.physiology.uci.edu/”]Learn More[/unidash_button][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”1130″ img_size=”medium”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]
Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
Students entering the Ph.D. Program in Experimental Pathology through the INP must take one didactic graduate course each year; acceptable courses are described below. Senior graduate students (year 4 and beyond) may waive this requirement with approval from the graduate advisor. To satisfy this requirement, students may take Path/MMG 221 (Immunopathogenic Mechanisms of Disease), other approved courses offered by other departments, or any other relevant coursework with approval from the graduate advisor. In addition, students must attend weekly seminars and are encouraged to participate in the Experimental Pathology Journal Club. Graduate students in the program are also required to present in the seminar series, usually during the Spring quarter; these oral presentations are an important part of the graduate training. Second year students are required to give a 30-minute “research in progress” (RIP) talk. In the third year and beyond, students are required to research as formal one-hour seminars.
