Biomolecular Sciences (PhD)
Start your career where biology and chemistry meet to create innovative and creative solutions to today’s biggest issues.
Overview
Help create a better world for everyone, by improving health care, agriculture, energy consumption, and the environment.
Create big changes while working at a small scale. Study two broad areas of science including cell regulation and the structure and function of biomolecules.
Gain academic and research training to prepare for careers in academic research, teaching, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and biomedicine. Learn the most current methods, technologies, and develop new knowledge and skills.
Go on to treat age-related disorders in our quickly aging society, develop new antibacterial drugs in an increasingly drug-resistant environment, and make industrialized food production safer and more sustainable.
