Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minoritized Scientists (ABRCMS) 2024
Stanford Biosciences will be at the ABRCMS 2024 conference in Pittsburgh, PA.
Our 14 Biosciences PhD Home Programs empower students with the flexibility to tailor their education to their skills and interests as they evolve. Students work with global leaders in biomedical innovation, who provide the mentorship to answer the most difficult and important questions in biology and biomedicine. We encourage our students to flow freely between the 14 Biosciences PhD Home Programs with access to all labs, encouraging collaboration and allowing each student to discover her or his own passions.

Work with innovators across disciplines
Immersed in Stanford’s environment of creative exploration and interdisciplinary collaboration, our students work alongside not only the best minds in the biosciences, but with leaders in chemistry, physics, statistics, computer sciences, engineering, and myriad other disciplines. In addition to first-year coursework and the innovative, discussion-based Foundations of Experimental Biology, students supplement their learning through two to three-week mini-courses that span disciplines and generate innovative approaches to problem-solving. And through our close partnership with Stanford Hospitals and Clinics, students can witness firsthand the potential real-world impact of their work.
Become a leader, and pursue your passion
Our goal is simple: To empower each student to discover and pursue her or his career of choice. Stanford Biosciences graduates go on to make a difference as leaders and innovators in academia, biotech and government research, business and finance, education, and policy. We will work with you to develop the skills necessary to pursue your individual passion through an integrated academic and professional curriculum. For those with the talent, intellect, and drive to lead the next generation of biomedical innovators, our Biosciences program offers the best path forward.

Our 14 Biosciences PhD Home Programs form a collaborative network that encourages creative thinking, interdisciplinary collaboration, and high-stakes, high-reward research. Students get the best of both worlds: the flexibility of a larger program with the direct mentorship fostered by a smaller setting. Each Home Program provides foundational training with a supportive group of peers and faculty. Students are encouraged to tailor their rotations and education throughout the Biosciences and beyond. At Stanford, we empower students to broaden their horizons, discover their passion, and become leaders and innovators in their career of choice.
