生物化学课程提供生物化学学士学位和生物化学证书。生物化学专业还为学生提供了一种参与并完成生物学或化学系与生物化学相关的实验室中的独立研究项目的工具。负责任的教师是一群庞大的研究人员，他们的研究计划利用生化技术和方法。另外，如果进行生化研究，则可以选择来自麻省大学马萨诸塞州波士顿分校其他科学系的教师作为指导。我们的研究人员涵盖了广泛的领域，包括基因调控和表达，绿色化学，药物化学，蛋白质动力学，植物生物学，免疫学，x射线晶体学，酶学，蛋白质组学，内分泌学，蛋白质运输，光合作用，细胞周期，酵母遗传学，果蝇遗传学
The Biochemistry Program offers a BS degree in Biochemistry and a Biochemistry Certificate. The Biochemistry Major also provides students a vehicle to engage in, and complete, an independent research project within a biochemistry-related laboratory from the Departments of Biology or Chemistry. The contributing faculty is a large, diverse group of investigators whose research programs utilize biochemical techniques and approaches. Additionally, faculty from other science departments at UMass Boston may be chosen as a mentor if performing biochemical research. Our research faculty cover a diverse array of interests that includes gene regulation and expression, green chemistry, medicinal chemistry, protein dynamics, plant biology, immunology, x-ray crystallography, enzymology, proteomics, endocrinology, protein trafficking, photosynthesis, cell cycle, yeast genetics, Drosophila genetics, plant genetics, developmental biology, microbiology, environmental microbiology, remediation biology, acid rain biochemistry, protein chemistry, bioinformatics, neurobiology, toxicology, etc.
