The cluster system was developed to coordinate the activities of the many Ph.D. granting programs in the Biological Sciences Division. The key functions it serves is a shared recruiting and admissions process and a shared annual retreat. In addition, the units in the Molecular Biosciences cluster have an open policy for transfer of students from one program to another within the cluster to accommodate students whose academic interests shift during the first year.
