Drexel University

The graduate program in Biochemistry of Health & Disease offers a challenging and broad-based curriculum of research and coursework leading to the Master of Science or PhD degree. The aim of the graduate program is to train the next generation of biomedical scientists in the theory and practice of biochemistry, biophysics, and molecular biology in an environment of experiential learning that fosters new discoveries in biomedical research. Graduate students will be challenged to become independent and critical thinkers and prepared for the demands of scientific careers in industry, academia, and government. The themes of molecular structure, molecular mechanism, and molecular regulation are recurrent throughout the diverse research areas represented by the program faculty.
