Overview

Biochemistry and Structural Biology provides training opportunities in a multitude of contemporary areas of basic and translational research. Our goal is to prepare our students for independent research careers in academic research institutions and industry.

Our students have access to a large pool of mentors from across The University of Alabama at Birmingham with expertise in varied research areas, specializing in:

Understanding the chemistry of life (biochemistry),
The study of self-renewal, differentiation, and regeneration of cells (stem cell biology).

Coursework

BSB training incorporates hands-on experience in state-of-the-art methodologies to study a wide array of biological and pathobiological processes. Our research programs are challenging and contemporary, and teach both laboratory skills and communication techniques vital to presenting research in oral or published form.

Our goal is to teach the skills, implant the inspiration, encourage imagination, and nurture the dedication essential for our graduates to become world-class researchers.
