Message from the Chairman
Kenneth Ramos, PhD

Our ability to fight old and emerging diseases, and to solve the mysteries of modern medicine, depends largely on a better understanding of the biochemical and molecular bases of health and disease.

Major technological advances continue to fuel accelerated growth in the fields of biochemistry and molecular biology. Molecular investigations of the inner workings of the cell, the genes that define biological networks, the proteins that regulate biological function, and the metabolic pathways that determine biological susceptibility now dominate the landscape of science.

The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is committed to the development of preeminent biomedical research and educational programs. In addition to outstanding faculty, the Department enjoys major upgrades in physical facilities, state-of-the-art equipment and centralized core facilities. Building on the UofL tradition of excellence, the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology continues to grow in stature, recognition and visibility.

I invite you to explore the exciting opportunities available at the University of Louisville School of Medicine and the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. The door is open…
