生物化学和神经科学是一项跨学科计划，由化学和生物化学系管理，并由北极生物学研究所提供研究支持。现有广泛的生物医学研究经验，包括分子和细胞神经科学，蛋白质组学，蛋白质结构功能和分子毒理学。北极环境为环境生物化学，适应和分子遗传学提供了更多的研究机会。在这些研究领域攻读MS学位的学生应查看集中于生物化学和神经科学学位的MS化学。合作院校中的UAF教职员工和附属教职员工提供了涵盖研究和全面课程提供的丰富学术环境。鼓励对生物技术，药物科学，环境卫生，遗传学和生物医学感兴趣的学生申请。通常，学生将获得经济支持（奖学
Biochemistry and neuroscience is an interdepartmental program administered by the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry with research support through the Institute of Arctic Biology. A broad range of biomedical research experiences are available, including molecular and cellular neuroscience, proteomics, protein structure-function and molecular toxicology. The Arctic environment provides additional research opportunities in environmental biochemistry, adaptations and molecular genetics. Students seeking a M.S. degree in these research areas should see the M.S. chemistry with concentration in biochemistry and neuroscience degree. UAF faculty and affiliate faculty at collaborating institutions provide a rich academic environment encompassing both research and comprehensive course offerings. Students with career interests in biotechnology, pharmaceutical sciences, environmental health, genetics and biomedicine are encouraged to apply. Students are normally accepted with financial support (fellowships, research assistantships and/or teaching assistantships) along with tuition waivers.
