Taught by top-tier faculty at The University of Texas at Dallas, the Master of Science in Molecular and Cell Biology ensures that students develop an advanced knowledge of biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology and quantitative biology. Housed within the Department of Biological Sciences, the master's program allows students to benefit from the department's areas of research strength:
- Biochemistry and biophysics
- Genomics, systems and computational biology
- Microbiology
- Molecular and cell biology
- Pathobiology (cancer, neurobiology and infectious disease)
With opportunities to conduct experimental or computational research " and with access to next-generation sequencing platforms, protein and small molecule mass spectrometry and cell imaging and sorting systems " students in the program gain expertise in state-of-the-art research methods involving gene expression, protein structure and function, carcinogenesis, neurodegeneration, bacterial pathogenicity and symbiosis, metabolism and signaling networks.
