Ph.D. in Integrated Biomedical Sciences

The Integrated Biomedical Sciences (IBMS) Graduate Program is a cutting-edge, dynamic, multidisciplinary Ph.D. program fueled by the energy and enthusiasm of several hundred scientists throughout the basic science and clinical departments on the UT Health campus, as well as from select off-campus institutions. Students admitted into the IBMS identify a “primary discipline of interest” during their first year. Each of the 7 disciplines (below) has a core curriculum that prepares students for successfully completing investigations in their area of research focus. Importantly, each discipline’s plan of study can be flexible to best serve the needs of each student and all IBMS students have access to all offerings of the program.
