Biotechnology
and Clinical Laboratory Science
- Master
of Science In Clinical Laboratory Science
The
M.S. in Clinical Laboratory Science will provide qualified
students already possessing a B.S. in biology, chemistry
or a related field with the appropriate training to
work in a clinical laboratory. The program will consist
of two academic years of study, one semester of which
is guaranteed rotations in clinical laboratories at
affiliated hospitals. Graduates of the program will
be eligible to sit for national certification examinations.

Structural
Biology:( MS degree, proposal under review by
the State Education Department) Program is designed
for students interested in the study of biological form
and function at the level of a three dimensional atomic
architecture of biomolecules and biomolecular assemblies.
A hallmark of the program is its emphasis on equipping
students with training in the principles and practice
of the main methodologies of modern structural biology,
in particular those of X-ray and electron crystalography,
nuclear magnetic resonance spectros, and conputational
strutural modeling.
