The Chemical Biology PhD at McMaster trains students at the interface of chemistry, biochemistry, and biology, with an emphasis on using chemical approaches to address biological problems such as disease mechanisms, the regulation of biological pathways, and the roles of biomolecules in cellular function. Much of the department's research concentrates on infection, imaging, and interfaces, with further areas covering antimicrobial resistance, cancer, chemical genomics, and biomolecular interactions, structure, dynamics, and function. The program is thesis-based and normally takes four years of full-time study, requiring completion of a number of courses and a research thesis, with candidates expected to make contributions to the discipline and disseminate their work through scholarly publications and presentations. McMaster admits students for September, January, and May starts, with a typical application deadline of February 1.
