| The Department of Biochemistry offers programs leading to the degrees of Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy. Both require the completion of a research program and the preparation of a thesis. The Department of Biochemistry strives to train scientists with both a broad knowledge of the disciplines of biochemistry, biophysics and molecular biology. It also strives to develop critical and creative scholars who can communicate effectively. The Department provides a world-class training environment in a broad range of topics.
The Department of Biochemistry is the primary home of the Groups on Protein Structure and Function, Membrane Protein Research, Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, Signal Transduction Research and the Membrane Protein and Cardiovascular Disease Training Program. Many members of the Department are active in the Institute for Biomolecular Design and the Stroke, Cardiovascular, Obesity, Lipids, Atherosclerosis Research (SCOLAR) Training Program. The Department of Biochemistry is endowed with state-of-the art equipment and support facilities. Access to all major techniques utilized in modern biochemical, biophysical and molecular biological research is available to faculty, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students. The Department is also home to the National High Field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Centre (NANUC).
