The Metabolic Biology Graduate Program is an inter-campus effort combining faculty from Berkeley and UCSF, with training on how metabolism is regulated, what nutrients do and what goes wrong in metabolic disease. This listing is the MS track, which suits students who want deeper understanding of the field by pairing targeted classes with research projects. Research topics include nutritional and hormonal control of metabolism, fat storage in cells, gut physiology, brain control of feeding and tumor metabolism, and faculty pursue translational work toward therapeutic and diagnostic approaches. Applications for Fall entry are due December 1, 2026. The GRE is not required. The program page also links to the department's own site for further detail. Admission details are listed in the Graduate Division program directory, along with department contact information.
