Biochemistry And Molecular Genetics

Visit the Biochemistry And Molecular Genetics homepage.

The graduate program in Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics provides an exceptionally exciting and vigorous academic environment for modern biomedical research. The program brings together faculty from both the basic and clinical sciences, including researchers based at the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, the Pittsburgh Genetics Institute, and the Pittsburgh Center for Human Gene Therapy. In addition to their commitment to developing the careers of young scientists, the program's faculty are engaged in intensive research in areas such as cancer, diseases of the nervous system, autoimmune diseases, AIDS andother viral diseases, and muscular dystrophies.

Research
The faculty members in the biochemistry and molecular genetics program have diverse research interests and are exploring questions that address fundamental and critical issues in biology and medicine. Faculty research interests can be broadly divided into four major areas: human gene therapy; genes, genomics and proteomics; gene expression and signal transduction; and molecular genetics of cancer.
