生物化学哲学博士

USU的生物化学研究人员正在研究一系列生物系统的基本结构和功能。正在进行的项目包括阐明参与氮代谢，碳氢化合物的利用和降解，磷酸化和甲基化等翻译后修饰以及大分子酶系统组装的多种酶和金属酶的机制。部门研究会影响各种各样的现象，包括了解全球能源和元素循环，生物修复以及人类健康和疾病。研究计划始终由国家科学基金会，美国国立卫生研究院和美国能源部等国家机构资助。
Biochemistry researchers at USU are studying the fundamental structures and functions of a range of biological systems.Ongoing projects include the elucidation of mechanisms of a number of enzymes and metalloenzymes involved in nitrogen metabolism, utilization and degradation of hydrocarbons, post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation and methylation, and the assembly of macromolecular enzyme systems. Departmental research impacts a diverse range of phenomena including understanding global energy and element cycles, bioremediation, and human health and disease.Research programs are consistently funded by national agencies such as the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, and the U.S. Department of Energy.
