The Program in Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics is built on a foundation of innovation and excellence in biomedical research. The success of our program can be judged by the fact that 24 Ph.D.s in Biochemistry have been awarded in the last six years. The Program's traditional strengths in classical biochemistry and genetics are complemented by current expertise in molecular and cancer biology. Together these disciplines form the core of life science research at the Health Sciences Center.
