Learn to solve biological problems with molecular tools. Become successful in an increasingly post-disciplinary scientific world with this program's unique emphasis on structure, properties and synthesis from the molecular perspective in a biological context, allowing you to tackle complex challenges in and out of the lab. The PhD program in biochemistry through the School of Molecular Sciences provides students with the training they need to solve biological problems at the molecular scale and to be successful, independent scientists who can contribute to current challenging societal issues. Students earning a doctoral degree in biochemistry are fully trained in all fundamental aspects of the discipline. Most also choose to join transdisciplinary teams that work on larger, mission-based contemporary problems in areas such as:biogeochemistryenergy and sustainabilityfundamental chemical biologymaterials and nanosciencemedicine and healthstructure function and dynamicsStudents should visit the prospective student site to learn more about this doctoral program and the graduate research page to learn more about the cutting-edge, transdisciplinary research being conducted in the School of Molecular Sciences. The doctoral program in biochemistry prepares students for professional careers in industry, government and academia.
