The Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology (PMCB) Graduate Program is one of the most comprehensive graduate programs in Plant Sciences. Our success is a result of our interdisciplinary emphasis, award-winning faculty, uniquely collaborative environment, innovation focus and state-of-the-art facilities. Our faculty is deeply committed to help students develop as scientists and compete successfully for the best positions available in plant research. We have a close-knit and diverse group of students who form a vibrant and supportive community. Our students gain an extensive plant sciences knowledge not only by taking specialized courses, developing outstanding bench skills, and sharpening scientific writing skills but also by presenting their research in scientific meetings, publishing manuscripts and creating their own opportunities.

FIRST YEAR ROTATIONS

First year students have the opportunity to rotate through different faculty laboratories and select a major professor by the end of the second semester. Applicants do not need to define a research project before applying.

FULL FINANCIAL SUPPORT

Our Ph.D. students are fully financially supported for the duration of their program, which includes a competitive stipend, medical insurance and a full tuition waiver.

    Francesco Cappai

    One of our outstanding PMCB Ph.D. students, Francesco Cappai, has been awarded a 2018 Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research (FFAR) fellowship! This prestigious program combines cutting edge food and agriculture-related research with innovative professional development designed to help Ph.D. students be career-ready upon graduation. This $2.7 million commitment is matched by a consortium of industry leaders that will equip students with the skills needed to excel in today’s challenging and fast-paced work environment. Francesco was selected among 17 other students across the country and will receive a $10,000 per year towards professional development activities. Check Francesco's 2018 FFAR Fellow profile here.



  • 2018 PMCB Workshop

    Ann Bernert (middle), in Gilles Basset’s lab, was awarded a $1,000 first-place award for best presentation during our 2018 PMCB Annual Workshop. Minh Dao (left), in Svetlana Folimonovas’s lab, and Natalia Salinas (right), in Vance Whitaker’s lab, each received a $500 runners up award. These awards are designed to help graduate students cover travel expenses to conferences and other scietific and professional development events. The competition is open to all UF students participating in the workshop, regardless of affiliation.

    Nicole Beisel

    Nicole Beisel, a first year PMCB student, has been recently featured on UF's main page in the story vpn被封翻墙党该何去何从?App Store连接不上如何解决?(图 ...:2021-1-29 · 前几天,据《环球时报》英文网报道中国已经开始屏蔽外国VPN服务,此消息也引起了国内“翻墙党”的一片震动。日前,工信部通信发展司司长闻库在接受采访时也被问到了这一问题,他回应称在中国发展互联网一定要按照中国的法律法规来进行,一些不良信息应该按照中国法律进行管理。. Beisel's research involves making sense of immense, complex sets of genetics data for the UF's Space Plants Lab, a team focused on growing plants in zero gravity. But it's Beisel's side project that she calls "simply cool" and will one day help the first greenhouses thrive on Mars. Not many plant biologists can say their research has the potential to help gardeners on Earth as well as on Mars, and that's why Beisel chose PMCB at UF.



  • Ann Bernert

    Ann Bernert is among the 2,000 students who received the prestigious National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Student Research Fellowship in 2018. Fellows receive a stipend of $34,000 along with a $12,000 allowance for tuition and fees for 3 years, opportunities for international research and professional development, and freedom to conduct their own research without funding worries. Ann will be able to pursue a career in science and share research discoveries with the public. “I’m so grateful for the support I’ve had.” Bernert said. "I’m grateful to the PMCB Program and Dr. Gilles Basset who spent a lot of time working with me on the application.” More at Six UF/IFAS CALS students named to the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program.

    Anna-Lisa Paul & Rob Ferl

    Anna-Lisa Paul and Rob Ferl have been leading the EPEX- Epigenetic Expression projec, a long-term collaborative experiment by UF’s Space Plants Lab http://ufspaceplants.org and NASA. EPEX is designed to test how plants respond to zero gravity and spaceflight environment. Their team is looking deep into how the expression of plant genes responds to life in space and how plant genetic materials help them adapt to this new environment.
