Welcome to the Graduate Program in Biochemistry and Cellular and Molecular Biology! Members of the BCMB faculty conduct research in diverse range of topics, including computational and experimental analyses of dynamic protein structures and interactions, protein biochemistry, intracellular and receptor protein signaling, organelle physiology, plant growth, transcriptional/chromosomal regulation, and neuronal signaling. Adjunct faculty within the BCMB program include individuals in the Engineering department and UT Medical Center as well as Oak Ridge National Laboratory. We seek highly motivated graduate students interested in pursuing research/professional careers in these areas. The BCMB Graduate program includes an initial year of core classes and laboratory research rotations followed by a broad array of more specialized courses. We strive to ensure that students graduate from our program with the research and communication skills necessary for success. Please check out the departmental website, including the faculty research interests, the graduate handbook, and instructions for how to apply to the program, for more details.

If you wish additional information, feel free to contact Dr. Rebecca Prosser, the Graduate Director (rprosser@utk.edu) or Dr. Mariano Labrador, the head of Graduate Admissions (labrador@utk.edu).
