The Postdoctoral Program welcomes outstanding scientists with PhD or MD degrees.    

The Graduate Program accepts students enrolled in the Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program from the Lewis Katz School of Medicine. Graduate students acquire a broad understanding of human disease, therapeutics and experimental designs through rigorous training. 

Graduate students can choose classes from the Organ System Cluster, Translational Medicine Cluster, Molecular and Cellular Biosciences Cluster, and Infectious Disease and Immunity Cluster, and will conduct their PhD thesis research with a CMDR faculty member. In addition to the Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program requirements, students will be expected to present research progress at weekly laboratory research meetings and the journal club and will complete an annual progress report and evaluation. Graduate students are encouraged to submit grant  applications  for  NIH and foundation predoctoral fellowships. 

The Undergraduate Research Program (URP) accepts undergraduate students from Temple University’s URP program. Applicants are eligible if they meet an overall GPA of at least 2.75 and a calculated math/science GPA of 2.75 or higher. A graduate student or a postdoctoral associate will train the enrolled URP student in research design, experimental procedures, research figure  preparation  and  abstract  presentation. URP students can earn research credit hours if they are enrolled in the appropriate research class at their school.
