Does anyone know any three year PhD programs in bio sciences?

It seems that how long it takes to do a PhD in the biomedical sciences depends greatly on the nature of the project, the hours and effort you put into it, and luck. I've never seen a program say "you will be done with your PhD in this many years." Three years seems quite low, however, and is probably not common.

The European Molecular Biology Laboratory (in Europe) trys to get students out in 3 years...
But why 3 years? If you want the abreviated Ph.D. go for the MD/PhD and get a mentor who will let you get out early.

Sorry that's wrong... depends where you go.
A doctorate is a doctorate; being D.Phil or Ph.D. M.Phil is like a C.Phil which is like a Masters.

At least in science, I know that a M.Phil is not as prestigious as an american PhD in the US because the latter process is longer and more rigorous. There are differences in the curricula as well, and those differences are important if you want to apply your degree to the US or Europe.
Either way, I think Spiderman is looking for more domestic solutions.

If you did your PhD in England and stay in England, I don't think there is even such a thing as postdoc

I knew a grad student who finished UNC-Chapel Hill's Dept. of pharmacology in 3 years. At the time was number #1 in the country. She worked 50-60 hours/week and published 3 papers. She is now on Faculty at Harvard WITHOUT doing a postdoc.
Completing a degree in 3 years depends on you and the advisor you get.
