生物化学哲学博士-膜和转运机制

在读博士 信息流必须完成相当于1和1/2学分的研究生课程工作，定期参加每周一次的学生研讨会，举办3次学生研讨会，并举行定期的委员会会议。在任职期间，该学生将进行独立而原始的研究，这些研究将构成其论文。此外，他们还将展示出不仅具有科学领域而且具有相关领域的深入知识。尽管没有严格要求他们的工作可以在同行评审的文献中发表，但可以预期完成的工作质量是可以发表的。通常是博士 论文包含引言，方法，两到三个数据章节以及结论。学生通常需要5-6年的时间才能完成博士学位。<br> <br>生物膜是脂质和蛋白质的复杂而动态的
Biochemistry is the study of the molecular events underlying biological processes. Consequently, it makes fundamental contributions to all disciplines concerned with living systems. The graduate program in Biochemistry enables students to conduct research in modern facilities, leading to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in a wide variety of areas including the relationship between structure and biological function in proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids as well as complex multi-component systems such as membranes and sub-cellular organelles.<br>Biological membranes are complex and dynamic ensembles of lipids and proteins, which define the limits of cells and organelles and carry out a variety of specialized functions including energy transduction, communication, and cellular homeostasis. The organization, targeting and assembly of membrane components are active areas of study in the Department. Organisms devote about 1/3 of their genomes to encode membrane proteins and mutations in these genes or alterations in their expression are often linked to disease. How these alterations affect membrane protein structure, function and biosynthesis is a very active area of investigation.
