Master of Science (M.Sc.); Physiology (Thesis) 鈥� Chemical Biology (45 credits)

Offered by: Physiology     Degree: Master of Science

Program Requirements

The Graduate Option in Chemical Biology is centered on the pursuit of an original research project under the direction of one or more program mentors. This research training is augmented by student participation in lecture and seminar courses and in a series of thematic workshops, all of which are designed to expose students to the diverse approaches and research issues that characterize the current state of the field. Students with training in this interdisciplinary approach will be highly qualified to seek careers in academic research as well as the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.
