The Stanford Biosciences Admissions Office, not the Department of Biochemistry, processes applications for the Ph.D. program. All materials should be uploaded electronically to the online application. If you are selected for an interview, please arrange to have official transcripts mailed directly to the Biosciences Admission Office.
The Biochemistry Department does not require the GRE, but applicants have the option to submit GRE scores if they desire.
The Biosciences programs offer each student a wide range of choices, while also ensuring that they are integrated into a cohesive academic community both immediately upon entering the graduate program and thereafter. The increasingly clear interrelationships among areas of biology and biomedical sciences that were previously viewed as distinct make it all the more important for students to do research in an interactive and cooperative research environment. Cross-disciplinary research and training has always been a great strength of the Biosciences at Stanford.

The Biosciences program at Stanford encourages students to explore research opportunities, do rotations, and eventually decide on dissertation research in any of the 14 Home Programs. Each student is admitted to a particular Home Program, which then provides the primary base for training during the first year.
