Prerequisites: instructor consent and one year of physical chemistry or quantum mechanics (required for current trainees). Methods of Molecular Biophysics 3 credits, team-taught. Prerequisites: one year of physical chemistry or quantum mechanics, or instructor consent (required for trainees by year four). Responsible Conduct of Research 1 credit, covers NIH-required material for graduate trainees. Prerequisites: instructor consent (one of these courses or equivalent required for trainees at as early as possible). Biology and Biophysics of the Membrane 3 credits. Prerequisites: one year each of biology and physics or instructor consent.

The BBMB departmental biochemistry and biophysics graduate programs are designed to provide students with focused study in the science and technology used to understand the mechanisms underlying biological processes at the molecular level, with an emphasis on the fundamental relationships among the chemical, physical, and biological sciences. We offer a Master’s (M.S.) and a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree with thesis in both Biochemistry and Biophysics and a Graduate Certificate (CRT) in Biochemistry. degrees with thesis are designed to train students in the ability to independently conceive and carry out original research in an area of interest.
