The Biochemistry and Neuroscience program is a collaborative initiative overseen by the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, with research facilitated by the Institute of Arctic Biology. Students can engage in diverse biomedical research areas such as cellular neuroscience, proteomics, protein analysis, and molecular toxicology. The unique Arctic setting offers specialized research prospects in environmental biochemistry, genetic adaptations, and molecular genetics. Those pursuing an M.S. degree in these fields should explore the M.S. in Chemistry with a Biochemistry and Neuroscience concentration. UAF's faculty and partner institutions create a dynamic academic setting with robust research opportunities and extensive coursework. This program is ideal for students aiming for careers in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, environmental health, genetics, or biomedicine. Accepted students typically receive financial assistance through fellowships, research or teaching assistantships, and tuition benefits.
