Pursuing graduate studies in Biochemistry can result in earning either an MPS or MS degree. Candidates have the option to specialize in various biomedical research fields including cellular regulation, protein studies, molecular immunology, toxicology at cellular and molecular levels, microbial science, computational biology, and genetic research. Competitive financial support is offered, mainly through graduate teaching assistantships, with additional opportunities like research assistantships and University fellowships.
Faculty engage in federally funded research projects. Those accepted into the Biochemistry graduate program may conduct their research alongside faculty from Microbiology, in various University departments, at the Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, the Maine Medical Center Research Institute in Portland, or through collaborative institutional agreements with Associate faculty. (Beyond the University of Maine faculty listed, researchers at Jackson Laboratory, MMCRI, and other institutions also guide students in this program.)
The MS degree equips graduates for advanced Ph.D. or medical studies, as well as roles in academia, industry research, or education. The Master of Professional Studies (MPS) is a non-thesis master's program.
