The Graduate Education in bioMedical Sciences (GEMS) Ph.D. Program involves research spanning the breadth of biomedical sciences, broadly covering both fundamental and clinically-relevant issues, and using a diversity of cutting-edge approaches to gain molecular and mechanistic insight. The overarching goal of GEMS Program is to facilitate the development of students as rigorous, critical, and independent scientists in a robust, interactive, and closely mentored scientific environment.
This program manual is meant to serve as a guide to students of the GEMS program and their mentors. It should be used alongside the policies and procedures that have been established by the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Chicago.
