Biochemists explore the chemical structure of living matter and the chemical reactions occurring in living cells.
Biophysicists use the methods of physical science to study the structure and functions of macromolecules..
The major provides a physical, quantitative perspective on biological and biomolecular systems and also prepares students for advanced study in a wide variety of areas, including: Biochemistry.
Biophysics.
Biotechnology and Bioengineering..
Welcome to the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania..
Biochemistry and Biophysics are the foundation of all cellular processes and systems.
Biochemical processes account for the functions of cellular building blocks, from nucleic acids and proteins to lipids and metabolites, and the formation of complex networks that make a cell or system work..
Graduate programs open to biochemistry majors include:
The Graduate Group in Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics (BMB) is devoted to the education and training of doctoral students in quantitative, mechanistic and molecular frontiers of biochemistry and biophysics, broadly conceived.
The goal is to produce the next generation of scientists, scholars, educators and leaders in biomedical sciences.
