The Biochemistry graduate program is designed to prepare students for successful careers in biomedical research by providing research-focused training within laboratories of member faculty. Students of the graduate program are anticipated to make seminal scientific contributions through original research and (co-)author publications within their chosen area of research.
Biochemistry graduate students typically enter through the Interdisciplinary Graduate Program (IGP), the Quantitative and Chemical Biology Program (QCB), or the Medical Scientists Training Program (MSTP). More information about these PhD programs and training in biomedical sciences at Vanderbilt is available here. Additional information can be found at the following locations:
We are unable to offer on-campus Vanderbilt housing to graduate and professional students. To support the needs of new and continuing graduate and professional students, our office provides a web-based Off-Campus Housing Service. The service lists information on various housing options located in the Nashville and surrounding communities. Listings are searchable by cost, distance to campus, number of bedrooms, and a variety of other parameters. In addition, the service provides an option to search for Vanderbilt-affiliated roommates. Active Vanderbilt credentials are required to access the service after thirty (30) days, and to utilize the roommate feature.
