医学哲学博士-生物化学与结构生物学

该小组致力于了解蛋白质是如何合成和组装成功能性大分子的。利用最先进的生物物理技术来定义蛋白质折叠以及内质网和细胞核中蛋白质运输的机制。反向遗传学方法用于阐明新发现的蛋白质的作用并定义功能性蛋白质结构域。大多数研究人员与德州农工大学化学和生物化学/生物物理学系的研究组保持着密切的合作关系。医学研究生课程为学生提供资源，正规课程工作和实验研究框架，从而获得博士学位。学位。我们的整体课程教授批判性思维，并以严谨，可再现性和负责任的研究行为的核心价值观促进跨学科培训。研究核心能力通过沟通，奖学金，职业发展和领导技
This group focuses on understanding how proteins are synthesized and assembled into functional macromolecules. State of the art biophysical technologies are exploited to define mechanisms for protein folding, and protein trafficking in the endoplasmic reticulum and nucleus. Reverse genetic approaches are used to elucidate the roles of newly discovered proteins and define functional protein domains. Most researchers have strong collaborative ties with Texas A&M University groups in the chemistry and biochemistry/biophysics departments. The Medical Sciences graduate program provides students with resources, a formal course work and the experimental research frame that leads to earning the Ph.D. degree. Our holistic curriculum teaches critical thinking and promotes interdisciplinary training with core values in Rigor, Reproducibility, and Responsible Conduct of Research. The research core competencies are complemented with communication, grantsmanship, career development, and leadership skills. Students are expected to demonstrate the highest research and professional skills to transcend their knowledge to other disciplines and solve problems systematically and collaboratively with other scientists.
