Faculty in the Aging + Cardiovascular Discovery Center help train graduate students in Katz’s Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program. We provide the education, training and skills demanded by today's employers in academia, government and industry. 

Our interdisciplinary curriculum and research opportunities teach students how to succeed as independent scientific investigators, exploring new pathways for learning and discovery. 

The MS with thesis, PhD and MD/PhD programs require original research. The programs challenge students to think logically and creatively and to express themselves independently.  

Students benefit from Temple's high faculty-to-student ratio. They receive outstanding mentoring from their advisors and faculty—all premier researchers with national and international reputations. Students are also given ample opportunity to explore options for independent study and research.
