The Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry Track focuses on the structure and function of cellular components broadly defined, as well as the spectrum of techniques and methodologies used to study these cellular components. Faculty members use quantitative and/or specialized approaches, including X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, and a variety of hydrodynamic approached such as analytical ultracentrifugation, to acquire answers to fundamental questions of the relationship between form and function, an understanding that has important ramifications for the betterment of human health. |

The Ph.D. track in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry
is a component of the Integrated Multidisciplinary Graduate Program at
the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Texas Health
Science Center at San Antonio. It is one of twelve tracks, each defining
a specific sets of training requirements for the Ph.D. degree. Students
apply to and are accepted by the Integrated Program. During their
first semester, they take a unified course in the Fundamentals of Biomedical
Science while doing short research projects in laboratories of several
faculty chosen from any of the eleven tracks. They then choose a
supervising professor and a corresponding track with which to complete
their training. Application information and information about faculty
participating in other tracks may be found at the Graduate
School of Biomedical Sciences Website.
Details of the Track Policies and Curriculum are found in the Dept. of Biochemistry Graduate Program Policy Handbook.
