The Biochemistry & Cell Biology graduate program faculty members are committed to training and mentoring graduate students to reach their full potential as scientists. We seek to facilitate students progression towards fulfilling and exciting careers in academia, industry, or government, and to develop their skills as future leaders in science and society.

Our program builds a strong foundation in modern biochemistry and cell biology, while developing critical thought and independence to ensure competitive preparation for a future research career. Formal course work is developed through consultation between the student and an advisory committee of faculty members.Faculty have research expertise in diverse areas including biochemistry, biophysics and structural biology, cancer biology, cell and developmental biology, computational biology, genetics, microbiology, neurobiology, plant biology, signal transduction, and synthetic and systems biology. Entering students conduct three research rotations before selecting a thesis advisor in the second semester.

The Rice Biochemistry & Cell Biology graduate program is designed for students who wish to pursue the Ph.D. degree. The program admits students for fall matriculation only. The most current version of the BCB Graduate Program Handbook (pdf) provides a detailed description of the graduate program, including all degree requirements and program expectations.
