Bioinformatics Graduate Program The Bioinformatics Program prepares graduate students for careers in teaching, and basic and applied research in computational biology. Bioinformatic approaches to structural biology at the University of Michigan include computational chemistry modeling, structural classifications of proteins, and novel drug design strategies.

Biophysics Graduate Program The Biophysics Interdepartmental Graduate Program provides a wide range of training opportunities in structural biology, including both experimental and computational approaches to understanding structure and function, dynamics, and folding of all types of macromolecules as well as interactions with small molecules. The program sponsors several courses in biophysical chemistry, microscopy, crystallography, and magnetic resonance. 

Cellular and Molecular Biology Doctoral Program The Cellular and Molecular Biology Program offers interdisciplinary training in the fields of cellular and molecular biology. Structural biology research in the CMB Program places an emphasis on understanding how macromolecular structure regulates biological functions.

Chemical Biology Doctoral Program The Interdepartmental Program in Chemical Biology provides didactic and research training in the emerging field of chemical biology. Structural biology research in this doctoral program focuses on biomolecular recognition, enzyme catalysis, and the mechanisms by which small molecules affect macromolecular functions.

Chemistry Graduate Program The opportunities in the Chemistry Graduate Program include training in theoretical / computational and experimental biophysical chemistry, bioinorganic, bioorganic, and chemical biology that are important in determining the structure and function of a variety of biomolecules and also to develop compounds. The program offers courses in biochemistry, biophysical chemistry, chemical biology, medicinal chemistry, and enzymology. 

Interdepartmental Program in Medicinal Chemistry Structures of macromolecules and drug-size small molecules play an increasingly important role not only in expanding our understanding of molecular processes, but also in guiding design of therapeutics modulating these processes. The Ph.D. Program in Medicinal Chemistry includes research activities both in experimental protein and protein-DNA, computational analysis of structures, and structure-guided search for small molecules that can be used as lead compounds in drug discovery.

Program in Biomedical Sciences The PIBS Program offers students access to 13 different departments and graduate programs in the biomedical sciences. Many of the departments affiliated with PIBS, including Biological Chemistry, Biophysics, and Pharmacology, contain faculty actively engaged in structural biology research.
