Biochemistry & Biophysics Friday Lunchtime Pizza Talks

In order to keep abreast of current developments in Biochemistry & Biophysics, graduate students should attend the weekly Friday Lunchtime Pizza Talks.  

Biochemistry & Biophysics/Macromolecular Structure and Mechanism Program Retreat

Each fall, graduate students, postdocs, and faculty from the Graduate Program in Biochemistry & Biophysics, along with colleagues from related departments, gather for their Annual Retreat, traditionally held on Cape Cod, Massachusetts

Brandeis Biochemistry Club

The club's goal is to promote undergraduate interest in biochemistry and the general sciences. The club provides opportunities for students to learn about new biochemical research from distinguished faculty, events to promote interest in and hands-on experience with macromolecular structure and function, and workshops to facilitate career development and research opportunities.
