Faculty and Departments

The availability of appropriate mentors for research training and career guidance is of central importance to the success of MSTP fellows. This section of our web site provides information about our faculty in several formats, so that you can more easily find the specific information you are seeking.

Search our Mentor List

Each of our research faculty provides a 1-2 sentence description of their research. "Search our Mentor List" allows you to search those descriptions for specific words, thus identifying faculty with research interests in those areas.

Browse Faculty by Department

This page lists the core Ph.D.-granting Departments, and provides an alphabetical list of faculty within those Departments. Each faculty’s name is followed by a 1-2 sentence research description, and is linked to his/her own web site where you can find more detailed information. Each section also contains a link to the Department's home page.

Browse Faculty by Research Area

This page lists research faculty according to their areas of research interest, e.g. cancer biology, gene expression, etc. Faculty may be listed in more than one area. This link opens a new window that is not part of the MSTP web site, but rather, is part of the PIBS website. PIBS, or the Program In Biomedical Sciences, coordinates admission for thirteen Ph.D. programs at the University of Michigan. The MSTP is separate from PIBS (since our admissions process is separate), but just about all MSTP research faculty also are PIBS faculty.

Career Advisory Panel

There are a large number of faculty at the University of Michigan Medical School who hold both M.D. and Ph.D. degrees and who are actively involved in research and the practice of medicine. Approximately 80 of these faculty have agreed to volunteer their time to assist MSTP fellows in career guidance. These dedicated individuals are waiting for you to contact them. This listing of our Career Advisory Panel faculty is arranged alphabetically by Department and by faculty name, with brief information about faculty training and current academic interests.
