mcbUSA

mcbUSA, the original club sponsored by the MCB Department at UC Berkeley, works to provide students with academic services and social events.

Molecular & Cell Biology Undergraduate Association (mcbUSA) at UC Berkeley aims to facilitate the formation of relationships between students and faculty, and explore different paths of biological careers in health and industry. While we are sponsored by the MCB department, you don't have to be an MCB major to join or to take part in the events, so come out and join us for a fun-filled year! mcbUS

A has also spearheaded the official MCB-Mentorship program, which pairs MCB-undergrads with upperclassmen students as well as graduate students under MCB among other departments including Public Health, IB, and more! Members of mcbUSA receive priority for the program as well as other member-determined benefits as part of the student organization.
