Biological Chemistry Graduate Program

The Biological Chemistry Graduate Program provides state of the art training in Biochemistry, synthetic organic chemistry, and Molecular Biology with the goal of preparing students to make significant research contributions at this interface of chemistry and biology.

Faculty within the program are actively engaged in research focused on a wide range of topics including enzymology, RNA-mediated cellular processes, hormone receptors, metabolism, small molecule control of cellular function and synthetic organic chemistry.

All students who have performed satisfactorily in the First Year Curriculum are qualified to enter the Biological Chemistry Program. The program is broken into two training tracks. Requirements within each track are similar and can be accessed by the following links:

• Biochemistry Training Track 
  • Biological Chemistry Degree Plan
• Chemistry Training Track
  • Biological Chemistry - Chemistry Track Degree Plan

For more information on the Biological Chemistry Graduate Program, please contact Russell DeBose-Boyd, Program Chair or Joseph Ready, Chair of the Chemistry Track.
