生物化学系提供两年制硕士学位。拥有研究经验的生物化学硕士学位的学生非常适合在学术，政府，医院和工业实验室中任职。拥有生物化学MS学位的学生还将获得与研究不直接相关的领域的职位，例如制药行业的教学和各种行政职位。从他们的第一学期开始，硕士 学生有机会在医学院（SOM）的200个实验室中进行研究，凯斯大学的SOM在俄亥俄州名列第一，在美国名列第24（美国新闻与世界2019年排名）。这不仅包括Case的许多顶级研究实验室，还包括克利夫兰诊所，大学医院和退伍军人事务医院，距离SOM仅20分钟路程（学生可以从200
Graduate studies in Biochemistry can lead to an MPS or MS degree. Students may choose from biomedical research areas such as cell regulatory systems, protein biochemistry, molecular immunology, cellular and molecular toxicology, microbiology, bioinformatics, and genomics. Financial aid is available on a competitive basis, primarily in the form of graduate teaching assistantships. Research assistantships and University fellowships are also available.<br><br>Faculty members are actively involved in research that is supported at the federal level. Students admitted to the graduate program in Biochemistry may also carry out their research with faculty listed under Microbiology, in a number of laboratories in other departments at the University, the Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, the Maine Medical Center Research Institute in Portland, or through cooperative institutional arrangements and Associate faculty or staff. (In addition to the University of Maine-based faculty listed below, several faculty at Jackson Laboratory, MMCRI, etc, mentor research students in this degree program.)<br><br>The MS program prepares students for further studies toward the Ph.D., or medical degrees, as well as for careers in academic or industrial research, or teaching. The Master of Professional Studies (MPS) is a non-thesis master's degree.
