The Program is an interdepartmental graduate training program offered
within the School of Medicine at the University of Colorado at Denver
and Health Sciences Center Fitzsimons campus in Aurora, Colorado.
Student training places a major emphasis on research experiences,
both in lab rotations and thesis projects, and includes a range of
coursework in biochemistry; drug design; pharmacology; cellular, molecular
and structural biology.
The Program encourages students to engage in collaborative projects and provides shared mentoring that can include faculty from outside The Program. Such interactions are geared towards fostering interdisciplinary training.
Faculty research activities cover a range of
structural and computational techniques including NMR
Spectroscopy, X-Ray Crystallography,
Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics, Biophysics, and Peptide/Protein Chemistry that
are focused on a diversity of biological targets such as signaling molecules,
transmembrane proteins, RNA, genome bioinformatics, lipids, and oligosaccharides.
