Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory School Of Biological Sciences
The school offers a graduate degree (PhD) in molecular biology in an accelerated program that strives for completion within four years. The diverse student body includes about 50 percent international students.
History
The school was formerly named after James Watson, co-discoverer of the structure of DNA and then president of the laboratory, shortly after its founding. On July 1, 2020, the board of trustees voted to return the name of the school to the "Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory School of Biological Sciences" because of Watson's views on race.
The founding dean of the school is Winship Herr, then professor at the University of Lausanne since 2004.
