The Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences PhD at McMaster is a thesis-based, research-intensive doctorate covering biochemistry across several areas, including stem cell and cancer research, cell and human biology, microbiology and infectious disease, and structural biology. Students concentrate their research within one of three groups: microbiology, immunology and drug discovery; metabolism, cell biology and genomics; or stem cells and cancer biology. The program normally takes four years of full-time study and culminates in a dissertation based on original research conducted under faculty supervision, with candidates typically joining a laboratory aligned with their chosen research group early in the degree. McMaster admits students for January, May, and September starts, each with its own domestic and international application deadlines. The degree prepares graduates for research careers in academic, government, and industry settings within the biomedical sciences.
