Developmental and Regenerative Biology (DRB) Program

Across the campuses of Harvard Medical School and Harvard University, students and faculty are pursuing exciting research in Stem Cell, Developmental and Regenerative Biology (DRB) from specification and evolution of vertebrate organ systems, to identification of novel regulatory networks shaping cell function and fate, to the production of patient-specific stem cells for the treatment of human disease. The DRB Program unifies these laboratories into a collaborative community and degree-granting track, providing a mechanism for students to access and engage with more than 75 DRB faculty from across Harvard. Our course curriculum provides a strong foundation in basic developmental and stem cell biology principles and skills, while our recurring events program propels trainee development through presentation and networking opportunities. Learn more here.
