Overview

The Biological Chemistry program at University of Utah is designed to equip students with a strong foundation of biology and chemistry.

The program provides students with high-quality, graduate-level education on the chemical or physical approaches to biological problems in support of their transition into laboratory research environments for the remainder of their graduate education.

The program spans between seven basic science departments: Biochemistry, Chemistry, Medicinal Chemistry, Molecular Pharmaceutics, Oncological Sciences, Pharmacology & Toxicology, and School of Biological Sciences.

All PhD students admitted to the Biological Chemistry Program who remain in good standing will receive financial support including a fellowship/living stipend, tuition waiver through the Tuition Benefit Program, and health insurance throughout the entirety of their graduate student tenure.
