Key Summary

    About : The PhD in Biochemistry and Pathobiochemistry focuses on developing research skills in molecular and cellular biology to understand disease mechanisms. Students engage in original research that contributes to knowledge in biochemistry and related fields. The program often involves collaboration with other disciplines, fostering an interdisciplinary approach to complex health issues.
    Career Outcomes : Graduates may pursue careers in academia, research institutions, or industry. Potential positions include roles as research scientists, biochemists, or in pharmaceutical companies, where they can apply their expertise in developing new therapies and understanding disease processes.

Doctoral study program in Biochemistry and Pathobiochemistry deals with the chemical and biological characterization of biomolecules and their building units in health and diseases. The program deals with their mutual transformation, with their role in the regulation of physiological processes, and with their disorders. An important task is to study the biological membranes, subcellular components (organelles), energy transformations, and the role of extracellular matrix and second messengers in the cell regulations. Branch also focuses on the role of free radicals in carcinogenesis and atherogenesis. The study program is closely related to molecular biology and genetics as well as to many basic and clinical biomedical fields, especially to clinical biochemistry.
