Graduate Degrees
The University of New Hampshire graduate program in Biochemistry offers courses of study leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees, as well as a 5-year B.S.-M.S. degree program. Doctor of Philosophy degrees are awarded by the Department for significant and original research contributions to basic knowledge in biochemistry and molecular biology. The objective of these programs is to give students interdisciplinary training in contemporary biological research. The course of study is flexible and takes into account the student's goals in research, career objectives and undergraduate preparation. Thesis research is conducted in the laboratory of a member of the Graduate Faculty in the Department. The M.S. programs prepare students for further studies toward the Ph.D. or other professional degrees, as well as for careers in research or teaching.
Research opportunities are available in the following areas: molecular biology, developmental genetics, cellular metabolism, eukaryotic gene regulation, plant molecular biology, molecular evolution and population genetics, macromolecular interactions, cancer biochemistry, signal transduction, molecular and biochemical endocrinology, neuroendocrinology, endocrine disruptors, structure/function relationships of macromolecules, proteomics, genomics, and transposable element biology. Interdisciplinary research opportunities also exist in marine biochemistry, biochemical nutrition, and cell biology.
