Message from the Dean

Welcome to the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences (GSBMS) at New York Medical College.

New York Medical College has been offering graduate programs in the basic medical sciences since 1960. At present, almost 200 students are pursuing Ph.D., M.D./Ph.D., or M.S. degrees in several scientific disciplines – biochemistry and molecular biology, cell biology, microbiology and immunology, pathology, pharmacology, or physiology. Our Ph.D. programs are designed to train scientists for careers as independent researchers, scholars and leaders in academia, industry, and government. Our Master’s programs help prepare students for a variety of interesting and productive careers as researchers, managers, and teachers. Many of our M.S. graduates continue on to Ph.D. programs, or enter the medical, dental and other health professions.

The GSBMS graduate faculty is a community of approximately 90 scientists and educators, most of whom direct active, externally-funded, state-of-the-art research programs. Current projects focus on several areas including cardiovascular disease, neuroscience, cancer, infectious diseases, diabetes, and metabolic diseases. There are ample opportunities for students to actively participate in these research projects. Moreover, GSBMS class sizes are generally small, ensuring personal attention and effective student-faculty interaction.
