Program Overview
Explore the chemical processes of life in ßÙßÇÂþ»â€™s new graduate programs in biochemistry and chemical biology (BCCB). The BCCB program will provide leading-edge, multi-disciplinary training in the biochemical and biomedical sciences starting in fall 2022.
A laboratory science, our biochemistry and chemical biology program is hands-on and grounded in biochemical and molecular biological techniques applicable to a wide range of job opportunities in academia, education, and the pharmaceutical, biotech and chemical industries, as well as in the public sector.
Degrees Offered
- PhD in Biochemistry and Chemical Biology
- MS in Biochemistry and Chemical Biology
- MA in Biochemistry and Chemical Biology
Internships, Research Opportunities and More
In our BCCB graduate programs, you will engage in both class work and independent biochemical laboratory research under the mentorship of experts in the field. We encourage graduate students to pursue professional development in multiple ways, such as preparing research for publication and presenting at conferences.
After You Graduate
Biochemistry graduates can pursue a wide range of exciting career opportunities in diverse fields. In addition to research and instruction at the university level, opportunities include applied fields such as pharmacology, drug development, medicine and medical diagnostics, biomaterials/biotechnology, pollution bioremediation, food and drug regulation, food science and genetic engineering.
