Biochemistry
Faculty and graduate
student research focuses on biochemical
processes at the subcellular and macro-molecular
levels and encompasses a variety of
fields and methodologies. Areas of
study include macromolecular structure
and function as elucidated by nuclear
magnetic resonance; X-ray crystallographic
and spectroscopic techniques; enzyme
reaction mechanisms; genomics; computational
methods in molecular biology; computational
biochemistry/biophysics; computer-aided
drug design; signal transduction;
neurochemistry; ion channel structure
and function; the role of RNA in molecular
evolution; the structure and function
of virulence factors; and biotechnology.

Cellular, Molecular
and Developmental Biology
The faculty and students
in this program share common interests
in understanding the molecular mechanisms
which drive both fundamental cellular
processes and the developmental processes
of morphogenesis, cell differentiation
and gene regulation. The strength
of the program is the diversity of
the biological systems under study,
which stimulates extensive exchange
and collaboration between the various
groups. Faculty expertise spans the
disciplines of cell and developmental
biology, molecular biology, physiology,
microbiology, neuroscience, immunology,
and genetics.

Evolutionary Biology
and Ecology
This program
blends knowledge and methodology from
diverse disciplines, including molecular
biology, population and quantitative
genetics, ecology, physiology, behavior
and statistics, towards understanding
evolutionary processes at the molecular,
individual, population and community
levels. Current research programs include
the evolution of intergenomic conflict
and symbiosis, spatial aspects of population
dynamics, maintaining genetic diversity
in captive populations, and experimental
studies of community structure. Faculty
conduct studies on both marine and terrestrial
animals and plants in habitats ranging
from the Colorado alpine to Pacific
coral reefs.

Interdisciplinary Programs
The Chemical Biology Interdisciplinary Program at the University of Houston is a joint graduate training program between the Departments of Chemistry and Biology & Biochemistry. Students admitted into this program are able to craft a hybrid curriculum and will carry out interdisciplinary research. Students in the program will also benefit from a regular seminar series, student events, and an annual retreat. An application must be made to either the Dept. of Chem. or the Dept. of Biol & Biochem.
The applicant MUST put "Chemical Biology" under either "Major"
or "Concentration" on the application.
