The purpose of the University of Arizona's GIDP in Genetics (also, the Genetics Program) is to train the next generation of geneticists. Our discipline integrates basic and applied life sciences, computational sciences, and physical sciences. Our faculty are homed in a wide variety of departments and centers, including Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering, Animal and Comparative Biomedical Sciences, Basic Medical Sciences (Phoenix), Cancer Biology, Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Chemistry and Biochemistry, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Entomology, Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Immunobiology, Mathematics, Medicine, Molecular and Cellular Biology, Natural Sciences and the Environment, Plant Sciences, Pediatrics, Pharmacy Practice, and Pharmacology and Toxicology. In addition to training the traditional biology student, the Genetics Program seeks to attract students from outside the life sciences and to train these students in genetics.The mission of the Genetics Interdisciplinary Graduate Program (GIDP) is to train the next generation of geneticists, providing strong academic support in molecular genetics, genomics, and bioinformatics. The common theme of our research is to understand how fundamental genetic mechanisms and complex functional interactions underlie phenotypic variation to give rise to physical traits.We pride ourselves on engaging multiple approaches – from mastering the traditional to creating the novel – while engendering an interdisciplinary and collaborative community.The study of genes, their functions, their interactions, and their inheritance will prepare you for a wide variety of possible careers. Your training at the University of Arizona will prepare you for life-long learning and high impact research in all of the biological and biomedical fields because the concepts of genetics inform all other areas of research.
