在完成生物化学和细胞生物学领域的博士学位后，学生将能够：对生物化学和细胞生物学的当前和过去的研究成果和技术有全面的了解。展示独立的问题解决能力和批判性思维能力。演示描述独立研究以及对成功的资助计划和已发表研究的贡献的论文所需的有效书面沟通技巧。展示有效的口头和视觉交流技巧，这些技巧对于阐明科学发现和对不同受众的意义至关重要。生物化学与细胞生物学研究生课程的教职员工致力于培训和指导研究生，以充分发挥其作为科学家的潜力。我们致力于促进学生在学术界，工业界或政府部门朝着充实而令人兴奋的职业发展，并发展他们作为科
The Biochemistry & Cell Biology graduate program faculty members are committed to training and mentoring graduate students to reach their full potential as scientists. We seek to facilitate students progression towards fulfilling and exciting careers in academia, industry, or government, and to develop their skills as future leaders in science and society.<br><br>Our program builds a strong foundation in modern biochemistry and cell biology, while developing critical thought and independence to ensure competitive preparation for a future research career. Formal course work is developed through consultation between the student and an advisory committee of faculty members. Faculty have research expertise in diverse areas including biochemistry, biophysics and structural biology, cancer biology, cell and developmental biology, computational biology, genetics, microbiology, neurobiology, plant biology, signal transduction, and synthetic and systems biology. Entering students conduct three research rotations before selecting a thesis advisor in the second semester.
