The Department of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry (MB&B) shares a collective belief that biological processes are truly comprehended only when their molecular, chemical, kinetic, and thermodynamic mechanisms are fully revealed. Faculty and students alike are drawn together by a mutual passion for biochemistry, physical chemistry, structural biology, computational approaches, spectroscopic techniques, macromolecular design, imaging technologies, and disease mechanisms at the molecular level. Approximately 75% of our alumni pursue advanced degrees in PhD, MD, or combined MD/PhD programs. Some graduates have embarked on careers in financial services, management consulting, biotech firms, and pharmaceutical companies. Additional career paths include legal or business education, humanities doctoral programs, public service roles, teaching positions in secondary education, or officer commissions in the U.S. military.
