Biochemistry PhD graduate students learn the fundamental concepts in biochemistry and physical biochemistry and the critical analysis of published research through:

• Faculty mentored research
• Graduate coursework
• An environment that leverages knowledge from in and outside the university

You will work with primary and/or multi-disciplinary faculty to choose a thesis topic from a wide range of current research projects including:

• Analysis and design of protein and RNA structure
• Biogenesis of membrane proteins
• Cytoskeleton structure
• Drug design
• Enzyme mechanisms
• Glycoproteins
• Ion channel structure and function
• Membrane receptors and signal transduction
• Membrane vesicle production and function
• Mechanisms of DNA repair and DNA repair defects in tumor biology
• Mechanisms of microbial pathogenesis, drug resistance, and tolerance
• Metalloproteins
• Prokaryotic and eukaryotic transcription and gene regulation
• RNA modification
• X-ray crystallography and NMR studies on macromolecular structure and folding
