About Molecular Biochemistry and Biophysics (B.S.)/Molecular Biochemistry and Biophysics (M.S.)
The molecular biochemistry and biophysics program complements more traditional graduate programs in biology, chemistry, and physics by offering an integrated, molecular-based approach to understanding biological problems, taking insights from all three disciplines.
The program focuses on biophysical approaches to determine the structure of macromolecules and macromolecular assemblies. Faculty advisers are chosen from any participating department, regardless of affiliation to a particular discipline. A particular strength of the participating faculty is structural studies.
Enrolling in the M.S. in Molecular Biochemistry and Biophysics program will allow access to the state-of-the-art X-ray facilities at the nearby Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory, one of the most intense X-ray sources in the world.
