The Biochemistry faculty has a wide range of research interests from cell biology to molecular biophysics. Primary faculty have their main affiliation with the Department of Biochemistry and are based within the department. This includes faculty members in the Center for RNA Science and Therapeutics. Secondary faculty have their main affiliation with other departments or centers. Students can thus work in virtually any field in current biomedical research.
