Doctoral in Bio-chemistry and Molecular Biology

The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is home to more than thirty well-funded research groups, offering opportunities for research that is fundamental in advancing basic science and at the same time provides knowledge that is being translated to help tackle human diseases. Course topics include laboratory techniques, nucleic acids, membrane structure and function, cellular regulation, protein chemistry and molecular biology. The balance of the program is research intensive and assessed by examination of a dissertation. All students are expected to give a research seminar in each year of their program.
