Welcome to the website for the Graduate Program Concentration in the Reproductive Sciences. This is an integrated Ph.D. program incorporating the teaching, research and physical resources of two departments (Obstetrics & Gynecology and Physiology) at Wayne State University?s School of Medicine, Detroit, Michigan.

This Graduate Program offers interdisciplinary doctoral training in the Reproductive Sciences with the degree earned through the Department of Physiology.  A major benefit to students is the program's integration into the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, allowing them the unique opportunity to obtain a Ph.D. degree in a clinical environment. This close association of basic science with clinical medicine affords our students a better exposure to and comprehension of translational research opportunities directed toward ultimately benefiting reproductive medicine and health.

The curriculum represents an academic focus directed toward graduate education and research training in reproduction and development including genomics, proteomics, molecular biology and bioinformatics. Dissertation research is typically performed in basic science laboratories located at the C.S. Mott Center for Human Growth and Development under the mentorship of Ob/Gyn graduate teaching faculty.
