Back to Department of Biological Chemistry
To strengthen U-M’s biochemistry community and to expand the range of research opportunities available to our students, the department has welcomed a diverse group of faculty members who engage in biochemical research to participate as mentors in the Biological Chemistry graduate program.
Our nineteen Affiliate Faculty hold primary appointments in departments across the university.
