Each faculty member in UVM’s Department of Biochemistry explores very different questions using a wide variety of approaches, systems, and techniques. Nevertheless, what brings us together is our mutual interest in understanding fundamental biological questions at a molecular level. Generally, how do molecules act and/or interact to accomplish a highly complex process? The diversity of our questions and approaches fosters a dynamic intellectual environment within the Department.

The goal of the Biochemistry Graduate Program at the University of Vermont is to prepare students for careers in science as both researchers and educators. We accomplish this by expanding their knowledge of both chemistry and biochemistry, while cultivating their ability for critical analysis, creativity and independent study. We offer a PhD in Biochemistry and students are admitted during the Fall semester only. Admission to our doctoral program is competitive with only three to five students chosen each year. We welcome applicants of exceptional achievement and those of diverse backgrounds. [Learn more!]
