About:
Welcome to the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology at the University of Georgia. The Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology Program (BMB) is a multi-disciplinary, research-intensive, academic unit of the Franklin College of Arts & Sciences at the University of Georgia. They have over 60 affiliated members (faculty, emeritus, adjunct, research scientists) who are leading innovative research in a number of cutting edge disciplines.

Their research mission is to generate new knowledge and original concepts related to solving modern scientific problems. We maintain internationally recognized and well-funded research programs in the areas of bioinformatics, biophysical method development, enzymology, epigenetics, extremophiles, glycobiology, infectious disease, molecular medicine, plant biology, RNA biology, and structural biology, among many others.

Their academic mission is to foster development of independent learning, thinking, and communication skills by our students and to instill in them and support an enthusiasm to achieve. Original research is fully integrated into both the graduate and undergraduate curricula, which prepare students, depending on their earned degrees, for positions in academia, biotechnology, education, government labs, industry, professional school, post-doctoral training and others.
