At UAB, we are committed to training experts of tomorrow in medicine, dentistry, and optometry. Our professional schools offer world class education in these areas, and the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics is pleased to help provide these students with the foundation to understand the complex issues that face these disciplines in the 21st century.

There are dramatic differences between the challenges that are faced by medical doctors, dentists, or optometrists. However, all of these health science specialties are influenced by the fundamentals of cell biology and biochemistry. That is why all of these professional schools call on the faculty of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics to deliver insights into the core processes that govern cellular processes. Many of our faculty provide classroom and small group educational opportunities to students training in UAB Medicine, Dentistry, and Optometry.

If you are considering a career in these health science disciplines, please consider continuing your education at UAB.
