USU的生物化学研究人员正在研究一系列生物系统的基本结构和功能。正在进行的项目包括阐明参与氮代谢，碳氢化合物的利用和降解，磷酸化和甲基化等翻译后修饰以及大分子酶系统组装的多种酶和金属酶的机制。部门研究会影响各种各样的现象，包括了解全球能源和元素循环，生物修复以及人类健康和疾病。研究计划始终由国家科学基金会，美国国立卫生研究院和美国能源部等国家机构资助。
If youre interested in building a career in the life sciences, look no further than a Master of Science in Biochemistry from Case Western Reserve University. As a top research university in the U.S., our institution has a rich history of training scientists and physicians. Here, youll be immersed in a welcoming, intellectual environment where our faculty, staff and students explore the foundations of the biochemical mechanisms that drive life, death and disease at the molecular, cellular and organismal level. Plus, our program only has two required courses, so you can build a curriculum that fits your post-graduation plans. From cancer biology to RNA biosynthesis, youll explore paradigm-shifting biochemistry questionspreparing you for further study or a career in academia, government, health care or industry. While research is not required, most students choose to participate in experimental biomedical research for course credit. Students work with faculty mentors in the Biochemistry program. They can also choose from over 200 faculty mentors at CWRU School of Medicine and our affiliated hospitals. This opportunity is excellent preparation for students who wish to pursue a PhD degree, strong students may be permitted to transfer to our PhD program.<br><br>The degree can be completed with either full- or part-time study. Part-time study is convenient for research assistants in CWRU biomedical science laboratories.
