Biological Chemistry Education
Partner With Us to Advance Molecular Understanding
We strive to provide trainee-centered educational programs emphasizing mentoring and scientific engagement.
Build a solid foundation for success in Biomedical Science
In teaching, training and research, the U-M Medical School Department of Biological Chemistry is advancing the understanding of biological processes. Cross-campus collaboration between departments and laboratories creates an environment where future scientific leaders learn and grow. Where discoveries translate into real change.
Our studies of biology at the molecular and mechanistic levels span disciplines including biochemistry, structural biology, cell biology, bioinformatics, neurobiology, genetics and more.
Discover how the building blocks of life can serve as the solid foundation for your success.
