The Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology offers programs leading to the M.S., Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. degrees. These are research-based programs that provide outstanding interdisciplinary education and research opportunities. Our 29 primary and adjunct faculty have well-funded programs studying the molecular basis of genetic, bacterial, viral and parasitic diseases in projects that include control of gene expression, DNA replication and rearrangement, cell migration, signaling mechanisms, membrane biology and membrane trafficking pathways, structural biology and assembly of macromolecular complexes, and glycobiology.
     The campus is well-equipped with Core Facilities to assist high-technology research, and all departments as well as OMRF have active seminar programs. Students have opportunities to meet distinguished visiting speakers, including Nobel laureates, members of the National Academy of Sciences and leaders of Biotechnology companies.
