The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology has developed an Area of Emphasis in Therapeutics Discovery under the major in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (M.S., Non-Thesis) to increase partnerships between the University of Georgia and the biotechnology industry. It will prepare students for careers in biotechnology and therapeutics discovery. A defining feature of the Area of Emphasis will be a summer internship with a company in the field, building critical career connections as well as relevant scientific and professional skills. An additional important feature of the program will be coursework in organizational leadership, project management, and communication in addition to specific theoretical and laboratory-based scientific training.
This major is part of a Double Dawgs pathway: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology BS/Biochemistry and Molecular Biology MS(Therapeutics Discovery)(non-thesis) Biology BS/Biochemistry and Molecular Biology MS(Therapeutics Discovery)(non-thesis) Chemistry BSChem/Biochemistry and Molecular Biology MS(Therapeutics Discovery)(non-thesis) Regenerative Bioscience BS/Biochemistry and Molecular Biology(Therapeutics Discovery)(non-thesis)
