BS BCMB
Biochemistry Graduate School Preparation


Biochemists can find careers in a wide range of applications, including positions in academics and industry. They pursue research in drug, food, agriculture, environmental, clinical, and immunological problems or basic research in proteins, metabolism, nucleic acids to name but a few. Because it is at the intersection of a number of growing disciplines ­it is highly adaptable. They can also pursue all the cross-over careers described later for the BCMB BA programs but here are described as PhD options.
