The department houses modern equipment for the preparation and analytical characterization of biological molecules, including instrumentation for macromolecule X-ray crystallography, EPR spectrometry, advanced Raman and IR spectrometers with ultrafast temperature jump capability, and networked computers and molecular modeling workstations. All students receive financial support throughout their graduate training. No teaching or assisting is required for receipt of this financial aid. Cost of Study Full tuition and an annual stipend are paid for all students admitted to the Department of Biochemistry. Living and Housing Costs Apartments are available close to the College of Medicine in the Max and Evelynne Low Residence Hall and the Rhinelander Apartments.
Some apartments are available in the adjacent community at comparable rates.
A cafeteria in Mazer Hall is open to all students for lunch. The roster of the Sue Golding Graduate Division of Medical Sciences, of which the Department of Biochemistry is a member, lists 223 students enrolled in its programs. The graduate students interact informally and through a Graduate Student Council. The council elects student representatives to Sue Golding Graduate Division committees, plans social events, and provides a forum for voicing student concerns. In addition to the graduate students, about 700 M.D. candidates are enrolled in the College of Medicine.
