Genetics and Genomics Graduate Degree Program Part of the UF Genetics Institute - a multi-college, multi-faceted research center- this graduate program is designed to give students a solid, interdisciplinary foundation in the first year, with opportunities for specialization in the second year and beyond.
Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences (BMS) This graduate program emphasizes biomedical laboratory research with specialization in one of eight advanced concentrations: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Cancer Biology, Genetics, Immunology and Microbiology, Molecular Cell Biology, Neuroscience, Pharmacology and Therapeutics, and Physiology and Functional Genomics.
Animal Molecular and Cellular Biology Graduate Program (AMCB) This interdisciplinary program prepares students to conduct research and teaching in animal agriculture and biotechnology across a broad range of animal species. Research areas include Molecular Biology & Physiology, Animal Biotechnology, and Breeding & Genetics.
Plant Molecular and Cell Biology (PBCB) This interdisciplinary and interdepartmental graduate program prepares students for careers in plant biology and emphasizes understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms that mediate plant development, adaptation, and evolution.
University of Florida Genetics Institute: Its goal is "is to apply the tools of genetics in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment to address today’s difficult scientific problems and challenges."
Powell Gene Therapy Center: Its primary mission is "to merge molecular genetics research and health care delivery by developing new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of human diseases that involve gene transfer."
Center for Pharmacogenomics and Precision Medicine: Is part of the College of Pharmacy at the University of Florida. Research spans "from mechanistic studies to multi-omic approaches to elucidate genetic contributions to drug response".
Interdisciplinary Center for Biotechnology Research: Its mission is "champion and enable scientific discovery and innovation throughout the University of Florida research community by providing access to world-class biotechnology expertise and instrumentation."
Center for Epigenetics: Epigenetics focuses on the non-sequence aspects of gene expression control. For instance epigeneticists might look at how histone modifications influence expression of a particular gene and how various stimuli affect histone modification. Faculty in this group are focused on advancing knowledge in epigenetics through research and training the next generation of researchers who will contribute the body of knowledge in epigenetics.
Division of Genetics and Metabolism: Part of the Department of Pediatrics in the College of Medicine, their mission is "to provide comprehensive clinical care and diagnostic genetic services to those referred for the evaluation of genetic disorders.
