化学生物学博士

化学生物学是一个快速发展的领域，将传统化学和生物化学程序的严格和定量方面与现代分子，细胞，有机和人类生物学的激动和医学相关性结合在一起。我们认为，许多生物学问题需要分子和定量的答案，而这些答案只能由化学衍生的工具和方法来提供，例如单分子测量，单细胞成像以及利用外源分子调节细胞成分的活性。化学，生物学和医学的整合已成为哈佛培训和研究文化不可或缺的重要方面，这种精神体现在化学生物学博士计划中。尽管该课程的教员人数众多且种类繁多，但该课程本身却很小，很灵活且很私密。我们的目标是鼓励学生发展自己的想法，并利用社区
Chemical biology is a rapidly growing field that combines the rigor and quantitative aspects of traditional chemistry and biochemistry programs with the excitement and medical relevance of modern molecular, cellular, organismic, and human biology. We believe that many biological problems demand molecular and quantitative answers that can only be supplied by tools and approaches derived from chemistry'such as single-molecule measurements, single-cell imaging, and the use of exogenous molecules to modulate the activity of cellular components. The integration of chemistry, biology, and medicine has become an integral and essential aspect of the training and research culture at Harvard, and this spirit is embodied in the Chemical Biology PhD Program. While the list of program faculty is large and diverse, the program itself is small, flexible and intimate. Our goal is to encourage students to develop their own ideas, drawing on the expertise available in the community to make exciting new discoveries. The program links together faculty on Harvard's Cambridge campus in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences with faculty at Harvard Medical School, and the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT. Students are encouraged to take full advantage of this remarkable breadth of opportunity by working with faculty to devise novel approaches to important biological, medical, and chemical problems.
