Why UT Southwestern?
In the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, over 340 faculty train more than 700 advanced degree students and 500 postdoctoral trainees.
UT Southwestern graduate faculty discovered how cells regulate cholesterol, solved the molecular structure of the complex that turns light into chemical energy and discovered G proteins. They are recognized internationally as leaders in their research disciplines. Faculty research interests are diverse and comprehensive. Our faculty include 4 Nobel Prize winning scientists, one winner of the Shaw Prize, 18 members of the National Academy of Sciences, 14 members of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and 13 members of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. 
Scientists at UT Southwestern are actively investigating topics as diverse as the biology of stem cells, chemical biology, cancer genomics and proteomics, molecular imaging, the molecular basis of drug addiction, metabolic diseases or infectious diseases to name a few. Our biomedical research advances are a result of more than 2,500 independently funded research projects annually totaling more than $340 million.
UTSouthwestern has a tradition of collaborations among laboratories that provide students access to expertise and techniques beyond those available in their home research laboratory. Graduate programs in the basic sciences are non-departmental and students can choose from over 242 laboratories. Programs in applied sciences and clinical sciences offer degrees focused on patient care.
Graduate students in the Division of Basic Sciences publish their research in a variety of high profile journals. A sample of 535 graduates from 1989 to 2005 was used to assess the typical distribution of papers by journal. Approximately 60% of all papers were published in only 17 journals, including Journal of Biological Chemistry, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Cell, Science, and Nature. A graph showing the distribution of publications among these 17 journals is available. The remaining 40% of publications were distributed among 278 additional journals.
UT Southwestern has core facilities dedicated to providing the latest equipment and knowledge necessary to assist all UT Southwestern researchers as well as advanced technology resources available through collaborations.
The Dallas/ Fort Worth metroplex boasts a sophisticated big city style of living. DFW is a cultural center, rich in the arts, as well as a sports center for major league teams in football, baseball, basketball, hockey and soccer. The area has many recreational parks and opportunities to participate in outdoor sports all year round due to the mild winter weather. Dallas is a major fashion market center and has many exciting shopping malls, shops and boutiques. The affordable cost of living offers area residents a high quality of living for a relatively modest cost. For example, to equal a stipend of $26,000 in Dallas requires a stipend of $31,392 in Atlanta, $35,374 in Chicago, $35,697 in Boston, $41,061 in San Diego, $43,546 in Los Angeles, $46,016 in New York, $52,377 in San Francisco. Many trainees buy homes, cars and start families in the metroplex. More detailed information and a cost of living calculator can be found at the following websites:
