Faculty in the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics define the basic mechanisms of organism function at all scales and will includes high-resolution structural determination and analysis, as well as dynamic imaging of single cells and cell assemblies. The department has produced impactful research on diabetes, metabolism and other topics. The department participates in several graduate training programs, including the Tri-Institutional PhD Program in Chemical Biology and the Tri-Institutional M.D.-Ph.D. Program.
