Master of Science in Biomedical and Molecular Sciences - Reproduction and Developmental Sciences

Queen's University

The Department of Biomedical and Molecular Sciences (DBMS) at Queen’s University offers programs leading to the Master of Science (Anatomical Sciences), Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. In the latter two degree programs (M.Sc. and Ph.D) students would choose from one of the five fields of specialization which represent the research strength of the department. The Department provides you with the best conditions to develop into an independent, productive, research scientist and offers a dynamic learning environment. The department provides a cross-disicplinary environment and delivers the programs in a collaborative and integrated manner. This interdisciplinary gives candidates access to over 80 faculty members engaged in a broad spectrum of biomedical research, using techniques to address questions concerning single molecules, cellular/microbial function, organ-systems, and whole-animal biology. Research in this field spans clinical and basic science, with a focus on fertilization and embryo implantation, perinatal health, women’s health, pregnancy complications, sexual dysfunction, and fetal and maternal programming. Studies are conducted at the level of select patient populations, whole animal models, and in vitro systems.
