| Faculty
The Faculty and Associate Faculty members of the Department of Molecular
Biology and Biochemistry are drawn from diverse backgrounds in Biological
Sciences, Chemistry, Kinesiology, Informatics and Physics.
Currently, both MBB Faculty and Associate Faculty members are eligible
to serve as Senior Supervisors for graduate students in the MBB program.
