SBB Training Program Summary and Contact Info

The Structural Biology and Biophysics Program (SBB) provides a collegial environment for training in understanding biological problems at the molecular level. These problems include structure and function of proteins and nucleic acids, protein folding and design, and the application of advanced physical and computational methods to the study of macromolecules. Specific areas of interest are outlined in more detail in the research descriptions of participating faculty. The program welcomes the participation of anyone interested in structural biology and biophysics. Graduate students can earn a Certificate in Structural Biology and Biophysics along with their PhD diploma by participating in the weekly seminar series and taking the core courses. Any student admitted to Duke University Graduate School is eligible to join the program.

Students applying to the Duke University Graduate School who are interested in structural biology and/or biophysics are encouraged to apply for admission directly through the Program. Students admitted through the SBB program are automaticallly admitted to the department of the participating faculty whose lab the student joins at the end of the second semester.
