We invite prospective students to discover the wide-ranging educational opportunities and supportive networks within our department. Our commitment to fostering innovative research and leadership extends to multiple pathways, including our PhD, certificate, and master’s programs.
- PhD Programs: Our Biochemistry and Biophysics PhD program offers a vibrant, interdisciplinary environment that prepares students for impactful careers in biomedical research and beyond. The program provides leadership development, rigorous training, and access to collaborative research across numerous scientific disciplines.
- Certificate Programs: The Molecular & Cellular Biophysics Program (MCBP) is an NIH-funded interdisciplinary training initiative. Students can earn an official certificate with a “Concentration in Biophysics,” gaining specialized skills in quantitative and physical biology while working with world-renowned faculty.
- Master’s Program for Employees: Our department also offers a part-time Special Master’s Program tailored for laboratory employees who wish to pursue a master’s degree while working full-time. This program is designed to enhance research technicians’ scientific engagement and career prospects, providing valuable credentials for advancement or new directions. Participation requires approval from the employee’s research advisor and a significant commitment of time and effort. The M.S. degree is a terminal degree and does not serve as entry into the PhD program.
We encourage prospective students, current employees, and external supporters to learn more about our programs and community. By joining our department or investing in its mission, you help ensure continued growth and empower future scientists to tackle the world’s most pressing biomedical and biophysical challenges.
