About

Overview A major strength of the Biochemistry, Molecular and Structural Biology program of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) is the quality of its faculty and students. Biochemistry research at UCLA is currently ranked 12th best in the world based on the U.S. News and World Report ranking of Best Global Universities, while our chemistry-related research is ranked 7th. Our faculty’s cutting-edge research programs span the broad areas of biochemistry and molecular biology, covering both traditional and modern disciplines. UCLA offers a highly interdisciplinary environment as many of our faculty work collaboratively with research groups in the medical school and chemistry.Research Focused:Research is our main focus in the BMSB programMany research projects are done in collaboration with our colleagues in the David Geffen School of Medicine and other campus science departmentsTwo connected Biochemistry research buildings include faculty in Chemistry and the School of MedicineSmall Student Group:Approximately 12 students join our program each yearWith 22 faculty members, it’s easy for students to get into the lab of their choiceSmall, elite program means students learn from their classmatesStrong support services; we are always available for adviceRotation System:First-year students work in three labs and then choose a permanent labStudents have the opportunity to work with senior researchers in several different labsA paid summer rotation is available to students before their first yearRequirements:Research-based entry course with only members of the cohortMinimal courses with options for more in other departments such as Medicine or ChemistryWritten qualifying exam on research as part of a research writing courseOral qualifying exam in second year (no cumulative exam)Three quarters of teaching biochemistry discussions or labs, minimum I want to find another Master Course

The Biochemistry, Molecular and Structural Biology program of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) is well-suited for students interested in biological systems and molecules, particularly those who seek a detailed, mechanistic understanding of biological and biochemical phenomena.
