Research Overview

Research in the Graduate Program in Molecular Genetics, Biochemistry and Microbiology is diverse and broadly based, as befits our name, offering exciting training opportunities for study across a range of disciplines.

Such diversity complements and strengthens our commitment to answering important questions at the interface between basic research and the mechanisms of human disease and pathology using techniques from across the range of biomedical disciplines.

Among the many experimental and analytical approaches currently employed in the department, those exploiting genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics techniques are being increasingly utilized by a majority of our laboratories.
