UMD’s MS in Biochemistry prepares students for research careers in structural biology, enzyme kinetics, and molecular medicine. The program combines lab-based methods with bioinformatics and theoretical chemistry. Students study biomolecular mechanisms related to disease, metabolism, and drug design, often working in partnership with NIH, biotech firms, and academic labs.
X-ray crystallographic study of protein-ligand binding interactions
Enzyme kinetics analysis of novel metabolic pathway regulators
Computational docking study for small-molecule drug design
Expression and purification of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies
Mass spectrometry characterization of post-translational modifications
Structural comparison of wild-type and mutant protein isoforms
Molecular dynamics simulations of membrane protein behavior
Study of ribozyme catalysis using fluorescence-based assays
Research on protein aggregation in neurodegenerative diseases
Characterization of metal ion binding sites in metalloproteins
Investigation of signaling pathway crosstalk via phosphorylation cascades
RNA-protein interaction analysis using CLIP-seq techniques
Development of enzyme inhibition assays for cancer therapeutics
Design of biosensors for real-time detection of cellular metabolites
CRISPR-mediated tagging of proteins for in vivo localization
Study of redox mechanisms in oxidative stress response enzymes
Biochemical pathway modeling using kinetic data and feedback loops
Isothermal titration calorimetry analysis of DNA-binding proteins
