The Harvard University Biophysics Graduate Program offers a rigorous interdisciplinary graduate program that leads to the Ph.D. degree through the Harvard University Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The committee consists of faculty members from the departments of chemistry and chemical biology, physics, molecular and cellular biology, the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences; and the Division of Medical Sciences. Students receive sufficient training in physics, biology, and chemistry to enable them to apply the concepts and methods of the physical sciences to the solution of biological problems.
The main goal of the biophysics program is to provide an introduction through courses and seminars to several of the diverse areas of biophysics and physical sciences, such as structural molecular biology, cell and membrane biophysics, neurobiology, molecular genetics, physical biochemistry, and theoretical biophysics.
The program is flexible and reflects a special effort to minimize course work and other academic formalities and to emphasize research opportunities. The qualifying examination is taken at the end of the second year to determine admission to candidacy. Students choose their dissertation subject from many different fields and begin dissertation research as early as possible in their chosen field.
