A two-year, thesis-based program, the Master of Science (MS) in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is an interdisciplinary program offering students opportunities to explore research in a wide range of topics, including cancer etiology and therapeutics, molecular virology, eukaryotic gene transcription and regulation, molecular immunology, prokaryotic and eukaryotic genetics, and molecular cardiology. With faculty from every basic science department on campus, we offer customized educational and research experiences to meet each student's goals. <br>The MS Program in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology trains students in the basic science and methodology of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, helping them to apply this knowledge in careers as research assistants in academia, Bioetech, or as educators. Graduates often seek additional education in MD and/or PhD programs. More than half of program graduates work in industry or academia.
