The PhD in Biomedical Sciences program in health and environmental chemistry will give you the theoretical background and practical skills necessary for a career solving environmental and health-related chemical problems. Scientists who graduate with this specialization will be capable of applying state-of-the-art methods to the detection, quantification and management of a wide variety of naturally occurring and synthetic chemical substances and the related chemical processes. No other doctoral program in Michigan focuses on these particular areas of chemistry, yet the contribution of highly trained doctoral-level scientists is essential to the resolution of major problems facing the nation in these areas.
