Please note that Cellular and Molecular Medicine does not currently admit students for either its major, or to minor. Interested students should pursue a minor in Molecular Medicine instead.
The Graduate College requires that all doctoral students complete a graduate Minor. 9 credits are required in addition to the units used in your major that fit with the “Molecular Medicine theme”. CMM 577 is required for all students minoring in Molecular Medicine, plus two courses in any of the Emphasis Tracks or their electives.
The Department of Cellular & Molecular Medicine is one of the five basic science departments of the University of Arizona College of Medicine located on the Northeast side of the University of Arizona Campus in Tucson, AZ. The mission of the Department of Cellular & Molecular Medicine (CMM) is to provide pre- and post-doctoral, medical and graduate education in an interdisciplinary environment through research activities to advance the knowledge of biological structure as related to function and disease from the molecular level to the whole organism.
CMM faculty run active research programs in modern molecular and cellular biology, which include the areas of developmental biology, neuroscience, parasitology, immunology, cancer biology, and cellular structure and function. Our graduate program attracts outstanding students from all parts of the US and the world. Graduate students from the interdisciplinary programs of cancer biology, genetics, molecular & cellular biology, biochemistry, neuroscience, and physiological sciences also receive training in CMM faculty laboratories.

This plan is only available to currently enrolled PhD students at the University of Arizona; students in the PhD program for Molecular Medicine are encouraged to minor in Molecular Medicine, and the coursework requirements are typically satisfied within the credits required by GPMM program.
9
A Minor in Molecular Medicine requires a minimum of 9 credit hours of coursework, broken down as follows:
- CMM 577 (or an equivalent course)
- Two additional courses, selected from any of the GPMM emphasis tracks of their electives
Note that for this minor, at least 5 credit hours must be letter-graded (S/P/F research courses, courses taken for audit, K-grades and other grading methods are not applicable and cannot be used). Additional courses may be appropriate depending on research interests; students should consult with the GPMM Director of Graduate Studies in this case to develop a plan for the MM Minor.
Students may choose 2 elective courses from any of the GPMM's three emphasis tracks.
