CELL, MOLECULAR, AND STRUCTURAL BIOLOGY

Cross-Discipline Announcements

Loyola University Chicago
A modest-sized, dynamic faculty offers exciting opportunities for research leading to the MS and PhD in areas that include molecular oncology and molecular neurochemical mechanisms of brain development and alcohol addiction; biochemistry of apoptosis, transcription factors, intracellular protein degradation, cell membranes, neurotransmitters, signal transduction, and cell-cell interactions; and biosynthesis and action of hormones. All students accepted into the PhD program receive very competitive stipend support and tuition remission. A focused program of formal study allows PhD students to initiate research during their first year. The two-year MS program includes a year of intensive research.

Oregon Health & Science University
The department offers an interdisciplinary graduate program consisting of basic science training in behavioral neuroscience with specialization in such areas as physiological psychology, behavioral and molecular genetics, behavioral pharmacology, neuroendocrinology, and biological bases of addiction. Students with degrees in biological sciences, psychology, or neuroscience are encouraged to apply. Visit http://www.ohsu.edu/behneuro/.

Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, New Brunswick
Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology areas of specialization include bioinformatics; protein engineering; drug and vaccine design; molecular modeling, nucleic acid, peptide, natural product, and biomedical polymer synthesis; theoretical and NMR investigations of protein folding; biomimetics; X-ray crystallographic characterization of human/viral proteins and nucleic acids; and physical and theoretical investigations of protein–nucleic acid and protein-protein interactions.

Molecular Biology

Southern Illinois University Carbondale
The Department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology in Springfield will be moving into new state-of-the-art office and laboratory space in the Springfield Combined Laboratory Facility II. It will add approximately 21,000 square feet of new laboratory and office space to the department. The facilities will include enhanced BL-3-level laboratories and will be adjacent to new facilities for electron microscopy, image analysis, flow cytometry, and confocal microscopy.

Stony Brook University, State University of New York
The Molecular and Cellular Biology Graduate Program at Stony Brook University offers students the freedom to select an academic course of study in a wide range of areas within molecular and cellular biology. Students can perform their PhD thesis research with one of nearly 100 outstanding research faculty members.
