Graduate Certificate in Molecular and Cellular Biophysics at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, United States

Programme overview

We provide our trainees with a rigorous grounding in the basic principles of molecular and thermodynamic descriptions of macromolecules through the 650 series of three intense, 1-credit modules taken by all trainees. Beyond that, trainees choose from modules that teach the fundamentals of different methods for investigating the structure and function of macromolecules. These allow trainees to establish a solid theoretical and practical (some have both lab and lecture components) background in the particular areas of biophysics relevant to their individual training goals.
