The Biomedical Sciences Program at Georgetown University provides unique, broad-based educational and research opportunities in biomedical sciences via undifferentiated admission at the doctoral level. Emphasis is placed upon providing students with comprehensive exposure to the biomedical sciences to facilitate their choice of thesis research projects, as well as to provide a strong foundation and enhance flexibility for their research careers.

The Biomedical Sciences Program encompasses more than 140 faculty investigators, whose research interests include interdisciplinary studies in neuroscience and oncology/tumor biology, as well as basic science research in biochemistry and molecular biology, cell biology, microbiology and immunology, pathology, pharmacology, physiology and biophysics. Faculty also participate in this program from main campus departments such as biology, chemistry, nursing, psychology and linguistics, as well as from clinical departments at the medical center such as pediatrics, otolaryngology, medicine, psychiatry, neurology, neurosurgery, radiation medicine, and molecular and human genetics.

Funding for the program, in the form of graduate student stipends and tuition remission, is currently provided by the medical center. The primary consideration for acceptance into the Biomedical Sciences Program is the student's potential for highest quality research and academic scholarship, evaluated by both formal criteria and a personal interview.
