BIOCHEMISTRY

Prospective Students


The relatively small size of our department provides an atmosphere of collegiality and accessibility. At the same time, close contacts and collaborations with other very strong departments on campus provide a breadth of expertise and experience of which we take full advantage.

In addition to their research, our faculty teach both graduate and medical students. At present we have about 35 graduate students and 20 postdoctoral fellows distributed among 11 laboratories. Our research trainees receive a solid grounding in the fundamentals of biology and biochemistry and experience with contemporary approaches to problems of significant current interest. Graduates of our program have had good success in finding outstanding opportunities for additional training and/or professional development.
