Cell Biology, Physiology, and Metabolism (CPM)Welcome to the Genetics and Epigenetics (G&E) Program!
G&E offers courses, research opportunities, courses, seminars and other training activities in the areas of model organism genetics, human genetics, epigenetics, transcriptional and post-transcriptional gene regulation, genomics and bioinformatics. G&E also benefits from the support of an NIH-funded Predoctoral Training Grant. Over 80 faculty are affiliated with G&E, including members of the Genetics Department, Epigenetics Program, and of many other basic science and clinical departments at UPenn, Children’s Hospital, the Wistar Institute and the Fox Chase Cancer Center. G&E also shares many faculty with the Genomics and Computational Biology (GCB) graduate group, which places greater emphasis on computation and modeling, and students can select coursework and dual mentors from both programs.
G&E students typically complete their degree in 5 - 6 years. Students complete coursework and a thesis proposal-based Preliminary Exam in year two. Years 3+ are spent primarily on thesis research, supplemented by a variety of seminars and other activities that promote scientific interactions and continued development of communication and other career-relevant skills.
