Irell & Manella Graduate School of Biological Sciences
City of Hope’s commitment to education led to the creation of the Graduate School of Biological Sciences, with the first class of students entering in 1994.




Programs City of Hope's Irell & Manella Graduate School of Biological Sciences offers a rigorous program of coursework and laboratory research culminating in a Ph.D. degree. The goal is to develop professionally trained scientists, prepared for a career in academic, medical or industrial research. Time to complete the program varies, depending on a student’s previous experience and the dissertation project chosen. On arrival, each student is assigned a faculty advisor to evaluate their academic and research progress. Campus The City of Hope campus features the Center for Biomedicine and Genetics (CBG). This 20,000 square-foot facility is the nation’s largest biomanufacturing facility at an academic institution capable of producing FDA-approved biological therapeutics.
