The Biological Chemistry concentration provides fundamental training in biochemistry and molecular biology approaches to biomedical-related research problems. Research areas explored by the faculty members include, but are not limited to: bio-nanotechnology, bio-inorganic chemistry, bio-energetics and bio-fuels, bio-informatics, medicinal chemistry, microbiology, oncogenesis, protein folding, structural biology.
The core coursework and research program provide a solid foundation for doctoral training in Biological Chemistry. The advanced coursework and the research program will be specifically tailored to each student, in consultation with the student and their course guidance and dissertation committee.
