PhD Program

“Research knows no Boundaries" in the Graduate Division of Biomedical Sciences at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Einstein is an “umbrella” program, all first-year graduate students are accepted into the Graduate Division without making a commitment to any specific department or training program. In the PhD program, graduate students conduct cutting-edge research in any of more than 200 laboratories in Biochemistry, Bioinformatics, Biophysics, Cancer, Cell and Molecular Biology, Clinical Investigation, Genetics, Immunology, Infectious Diseases, Neuroscience, Stem Cell Biology, Systems Biology, Epidemiology, Virology and more!

The Graduate Division has a longstanding commitment to training a wide variety of students, including those from groups traditionally underrepresented in the biomedical sciences, including individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, individuals with disabilities, and individuals from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Through the Einstein Core Scientific facilities, graduate students have access to the most advanced equipment and resources for their research. Einstein has centers for Cancer, AIDS, Diabetes, Aging, Liver Diseases, and an Institute for Clinical and Translational Research.
