A Ph.D. in Protein Chemistry is a research-based program that studies the structure, function, and interactions of proteins. The program typically lasts 3 to 5 years and covers topics like as protein folding, enzymology, post-translational modifications, and protein-protein interactions. Students conduct experimental and computational studies to better understand protein behavior and its roles in cellular processes, disease mechanisms, and biotechnology applications. In general, admission requires a Master's degree in Chemistry, Biochemistry, or a related subject. Graduates make contributions to subjects such as drug discovery, biotechnology, and structural biology, working in academic, pharmaceutical, and industrial settings.
