The Department of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology (MCDB) offers a wide-ranging program of study and research leading to the Ph.D. degree. The program is supervised by approximately thirty faculty members working in six areas:

Students whose interests overlap two or more of these areas are encouraged to develop a special program of study for themselves. In addition, students may develop programs of study in conjunction with other University departments such as Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, Chemistry, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, or with other schools within the University such as the School of Medicine.

The Department is located primarily in the twelve-story Kline Biology Tower and in the Osborn Memorial Laboratories. These are located on Yale's Science Hill, adjacent to Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, Physics, Chemistry, Geology and Geophysics, Forestry and Environmental Studies and the Peabody Museum of Natural History.
