What is PIBS?
PIBS is an interdisciplinary gateway program to 14 different graduate programs (including CMB) in the biomedical sciences at the University of Michigan. First year students are PIBS students and do not commit to a specific graduate program until the end of the first year. During this first year, students explore at least two labs where the research interests them (research rotations). The curriculum is designed to be flexible so that students can enter their program of choice.
