MScs in Fort Worth in USA 2021

Faculty members are engaged in various aspects of biochemical, biophysical, molecular, and cancer research. The specific research interests of faculty cover a wide range of topics, including signal transduction, post-translational protein modification in health and disease, protein structure and function, protein-ligand and protein-protein interactions, metabolism, molecular carcinogenesis, tumor immunology, stem cell biology, tumor invasion and metastasis, tumor microenvironment, cancer therapeutics, drug resistance, drug metabolism, drug delivery, drug discovery, nanotechnology/imaging, epigenetic effects on cancer risks, alternative medicine therapies of cancer, disorders of lipid metabolism in atherosclerosis, lipoprotein metabolism and biophysics of muscle contraction. The interdisciplinary research also includes investigation of the link between cancer with other disorders, such as aging & Alzheimer’s disease, HIV, and ocular diseases. Research projects employ state-of-the-art molecular, cellular, and biochemical techniques that include genomics, proteomics, mass spectrometry, protein crystallography, molecular cloning, gene targeting, FACS analysis, advanced fluorescence spectroscopy, optical imaging, and advanced molecular technology for the detection of genetic variation between normal and cancer cells. Students may choose faculty advisors according to their research interests. During the first year, students will acquire sufficient background in biomedical sciences, including biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, pharmacology, microbiology, and immunology. The students will have the opportunity to rotate in research laboratories prior to selecting their mentors. Students will take two discipline-specific courses as well as additional elective courses based on their needs and interests. MS students are expected to graduate in approximately two years, whereas Ph.D. students usually require five years to complete the degree. -
