UNIVERSITY OF OREGON

The University of Oregon has a rich tradition of innovative and interdisciplinary developmental biology research. Diverse and collaborative efforts range from molecular and cellular mechanisms of development to developmental neuroscience, evolution & development, developmental networks & genomics, organogenesis, disease modeling, and regenerative biology. Labs use model organisms including yeast, Neurospora, nematode worms, fruit flies, zebrafish, and mice. Notably, the UO is the birthplace of zebrafish developmental genetics... Research and coursework is enriched by a variety of broadening experiences: first year rotations, teaching, Institute retreats, annual student research reports, interactions with visiting speakers, and the Developmental & Cell Biology journal club. Career developmental activities support students interested in non-academic careers. A unique highlight is the annual student-organized Developmental Biology symposium, where the trainees host a group of leading..
