| Laboratories for graduate thesis research | |
| The Department of Biological Sciences has recently increased the opportunities for graduate student thesis research by including laboratories in various departments at Columbia's College of Physicians and Surgeons (Medical School). This expansion more than doubles the number of faculty sponsors participating in the Department's Ph.D. Program. In the list below, training faculty are grouped according to one primary field of research, but many could be placed in several such categories. Associated laboratories at the College of Physicians and Surgeons are indicated with an asterisk. | |
