Overview

Students in the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology program from Oregon Health & Science University will obtain theoretical and practical understanding of both how and why biophysical principles dictate observed biological phenomena, at the molecular level.

Key Features

Research training encompass a wide range of topics relevant to human disease, including structural and mechanistic aspects of membrane proteins, metal binding proteins, enzymes, DNA and RNA.

Methods used include classical approaches of biochemical purification and analysis, cutting edge structural methods (X‐ray and single particle EM), spectroscopic methods (fluorescence and EPR) and computational methodologies.
