Program Description
Molecular biosciences is a dynamic continuum of
disciplines which uses the approaches of
chemistry, physics, and biology to understand the
fundamental mechanisms of living organisms. The
School of Molecular Biosciences offers many
exciting opportunities for graduate students to
explore the vast range of life science research
while working toward degrees in the
sub-disciplines of biochemistry, biophysics, cell
biology, genetics, and microbiology. Entering
students do rotations through research
laboratories to choose a thesis advisor. Over 30
research laboratories are associated with the
School of Molecular Biosciences, investigating
problems in diverse systems, including bacteria,
yeast, plants, and animals. Graduates acquire a
breadth and depth of knowledge that allows them
to adapt quickly to new information and
approaches developed in the rapidly changing
field of molecular biosciences.
