Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is one of six basic science departments at M. D. Anderson dedicated to advancing our knowledge of the processes that regulate cell growth, survival and differentiation at the molecular level.
The department currently occupies about 30,000 square feet of modern new laboratory space in the George and Cynthia Mitchell Basic Sciences Research Building, which opened its doors in April 2005. Department faculty members have ample laboratory and office space and unlimited opportunities for their research teams to advance their projects. Grants to department faculty through both government and private agencies exceed $4.5 million in annual direct costs.
