Terrance G. Oas, Ph.D. The Program in Molecular Biophysics is an interdisciplinary program offering a Certificate in Graduate Studies in a highly collaborative atmosphere. Graduate students have the opportunity to participate in research in any of the seven participating departments. The program focuses on research endeavors that use physical measurements to study biological macromolecules and their interactions. Students devote their first year of study to course work and three lab rotations before choosing a department for their degree studies.
