| | Grad Profiles - Dartmouth College Biochemistry |
 | | The Program in Biochemistry uses a broad range of biophysical, biochemical, and cell biological approaches to cover many areas of biochemistry and cell biology, including membrane protein function, actin and microtubule cytoskeletal dynamics, enzyme kinetics, protein folding, membrane trafficking, cholesterol metabolism and transport, transcription, RNA processing, mitosis, cell motility, hematopoiesis, and circadian rhythms. |
 | | Admission to the Graduate Program in Biochemistry, and to other closely-related life sciences graduate programs (Genetics, Microbiology and Immunology, and Biology), is through the shared admissions path of the Molecular and Cellular Biology (MCB) Program at Dartmouth, enabling students to choose any laboratory in these departments for their thesis work. |
 | | In addition to state-of-the-art facilities for standard biochemistry and cell biology, specialized instrumentation is available, such as LCQ and MALDI mass spectrometers, an analytical ultracentrifuge, an isothermal titration calorimeter, an X-ray diffraction apparatus, confocal microscopes, electron microscopes, animal genetics facilities, microinjection equipment, DNA and peptide synthesis/sequencing, and fluorescence-activated cell sorters (FACS). |
