Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (Ph.D.) Program


Robert Rhoads, Ph.D., Professor and Head

The goal of graduate education in biochemistry is to provide the foundation necessary to design and execute biochemical experiments and to communicate the findings to others. Highly developed skills in the use of the scientific methods enable the graduate to pursue a career in biomedical science at a university, research institute, hospital or in industry. The program is flexible and individually designed to meet the needs of the student. Concepts and principles are stressed in teaching and research. Laboratory research and investigation are vigorously emphasized at all stages in the program. Basic introductory and advanced courses are offered.
