• This one-year program of didactic coursework in biochemistry includes an intensive research experience and a written thesis.   This program is intended for individuals seeking to increase their skills and research experience for employment opportunities, or for application to highly competitive Ph.D. or medical professional degree programs.
  • The intensive research experience is a key feature of the research-track.  Our faculty members conduct research at the cutting edge of modern biochemistry and molecular biology.  Current areas of research include structural biology, protein biochemistry, enzyme reaction mechanisms, molecular genetics, signal transduction, neurobiology, cell and developmental biology, and bioinformatics. Students match with faculty research advisors by mutual consent, either before arrival on campus or immediately thereafter. The capstone of the research experience is the thesis dissertation.
