The Biochemistry, Cellular and Molecular Biology (BCMB) Graduate Program at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) in Galveston offers intellectual training to help you explore new concepts in biology, develop novel therapeutic strategies and push
the limits of modern biological technologies. Our curriculum provides training in cutting edge technology, critical thinking, and verbal and written communication skills, preparing graduates to be fully competitive for positions within various career
paths.
We currently have 36 students pursuing doctoral degrees in our program and >70 graduate faculty members. Research projects in our program are diverse and address a variety of biomedical problems, including aging, cancer, infectious disease, toxicology,
trauma, and wound healing. Multi-disciplinary approaches combine research tools from biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, systems and structural biology, and our laboratories are equipped with some of the most modern instrumentation in these
fields. Please explore our website for more information about our
research programs,
curriculum, and active student life in the BCMB graduate program.

The BCMB program offers 3 tracks: Structural Biology and Biophysics (SBB), Cell Biology Track, and Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Track.
Structural Biology and Biophysics (SBB): SBB applies principles of physics, chemistry, and mathematics to cutting edge problems in biomedicine. It offers bioinformatics, computational biology, Cryo-EM, NMR and X- ray crystallography
training. More information can be found using this link. Structural Biology and Biophysics (SBB)
Cell Biology Track: This track offers projects which focus on molecular, cellular, and whole-animal systems related to human diseases, development and aging. It also offers training in single cell and single molecule imaging using state
of the art microscopes. More information can be found using this link https://www.utmb.edu/ncba/graduate-programs/cell-biology-program/about-the-program
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Track: This track covers a wide range of disciplines from RNA biology, DNA repair, molecular virology, proteomics, cancer, heart diseases and drug development.
