Biochemistry serves as the foundation for contemporary biomedical science. At Vanderbilt University, the Biochemistry Department is dedicated to education, service, and scientific discovery.
Our Ph.D. program prepares biochemistry students to become researchers and educators in the biomedical field, offering essential training for all Vanderbilt IGP Ph.D. candidates, no matter their future specialization. Faculty members contribute as journal editors and grant reviewers, lead significant scientific conferences, and participate in national committees for professional organizations. The department houses two editorial offices: The Journal of Mass Spectrometry and The Journal of Biological Chemistry. Additionally, Biochemistry faculty lead several key Vanderbilt centers, including the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center, Center in Molecular Toxicology, Center for Mass Spectrometry, Center for Structural Biology, and the Vanderbilt Institute of Chemical Biology.
