University of Massachusetts Amherst
 

At the University of Massachusetts Amherst, we have an exemplary community of investigators working in the related areas of Biophysics and Structural Biology. We are a welcoming and collaborative group supported by external funding from NIH, NSF and a variety of other sources. Biophysics and Structural Biology Investigators find homes in the departments of Physics, Chemistry, and Biochemistry & Molecular Biology. Graduate students may join graduate programs in those departments or in Molecular and Cellular Biology (MCB).
