生物化学与分子生物物理学博士

生物化学和分子生物物理学的研究生选修课程是在生物学，化学和物理学的界面上建立的跨学科计划，旨在了解生命的化学。因此，生物化学家和分子生物物理学家研究了生物聚合物的原子结构和折叠，它们彼此之间以及与小分子的相互作用以及特定生物聚合物和生物聚合物组装体在细胞生理学中的作用。细胞是生命的基本组成部分，现代生物化学和分子生物物理学的知识重点是理解各个部分如何相互作用以赋予细胞其广泛的功能。特别是，生物化学和分子生物物理学提出了一些原理，通过这些原理，细胞的各个组成部分以有序的自缔合方式结合，从而产生它们的形式，功
The Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics graduate option has been established as an interdisciplinary program at the interface of biology, chemistry, and physics that seeks to understand the chemistry of life. Thus, biochemists and biophysicists study the atomic structure and folding of biopolymers, their interactions with each other and with small molecules, and the roles of particular biopolymers and biopolymer assemblies in cellular physiology. The basic building block of life is the cell and the intellectual focus of modern biochemistry and biophysics is to understand how individual parts interact to give cells their wide spectrum of functions. In particular, biochemistry and molecular biophysics addresses the principles through which the individual components of cells combine in an orderly self-association to produce their form, their function, and their dynamic behavior.<br><br>An integrated approach to graduate study in biochemistry and molecular biophysics has been organized primarily by the Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering and the Division of Biology and Biological Engineering. The curriculum is designed to provide a broad background in biochemistry and biophysics of macromolecules and molecular assemblies, in addition to an appropriate depth of knowledge in the field selected for the Ph.D. thesis research. The goal of the doctoral program is to prepare students to become leading scientists in academia and industry. By graduation time, our students are expected not only to be highly competent in their chosen area of research, but to have also acquired a broad knowledge foundation in biochemistry and molecular biophysics, independently planned and conducted research experiments in their chosen area, and successfully defended their thesis work in an open forum.
