Burnett School of Biomedical Sciences

The school will help the UCF College of Medicine build a research intensive medical school where cutting edge medical research will span the entire spectrum from the laboratory bench to bedside of the patients, providing a great environment of training physicians and biomedical researchers.

The 198,000 square-feet five story Burnett Biomedical Sciences building with a major transgenic animal facility and Biosafety Level Three laboratories is expected to be completed by Spring 2009.

In addition, the school has formed active partnerships with other UCF units such as the College of Optics and Photonics and the Nanoscience Technology Center to build interdisciplinary research and education programs in the innovative applications of photonics and nanoscience to biomedical problems.

Biomedical programs of study
Our programs range from undergraduate to Ph.D. and approach biomedical education from an interdisciplinary perspective:

The Molecular Biology and Microbiology B.S. programs prepare students for entry into professional schools, graduate school, and the technical work force
The Medical Laboratory Sciences B.S. Program prepares future medical laboratory technologists
The Biotechnology B.S. Program prepares highly trained workers to meet the needs of the biotechnology industry
The Molecular Biology and Microbiology M.S. programs prepare students for professional careers in medical fields, higher education, and research
The interdisciplinary Ph.D. program in Biomedical Sciences prepares tomorrow’s biomedical researchers for positions of leadership in academic, government and corporate environments

Also, our accelerated B.S./M.S., M.S./M.B.A., and Ph.D./M.B.A. programs in biotechnology prepares a skilled workforce for the emerging biotechnology industry.
