In vitro and in cell studies. Animal models. Translational studies. Community-based intervention. Train with the Biochemistry & Molecular Biology research team that does it all.
We’re also advancing health and education across New Mexico through programs at Zuni Pueblo and San Juan College.
How can we use advanced imaging for forensic research? What impact do nanoparticles have on cancer diagnosis and therapy?
Curt Hines' Breast Cancer and Primary Cell Lab
How do cells coordinate and cooperate to form and maintain functional tissue?
What do we know about adipose biology and immune metabolism?
What if we could delay the many diseases of aging?
Karlett Parra's V-ATPase Physiology & Pathophysiology Lab
How do molecular mechanisms regulate V-ATPase proton pumps?
How can diet and genetics reprogram metabolic networks?
What if we could prevent health disparity in native communities?
What is the link between molecular mechanisms, inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer?
How do cells sense their environments?
Discipline-based education research (DBER) is an emerging field that integrates current research on human learning and cognition with the worldview, disciplinary priorities, content knowledge and practices shared by scientists and engineers.
At UNM, you'll study how people master concepts and practices in biochemistry. Explore the nature and development of expertise and work with leading experts to define specific learning goals. UNM faculty adapt our instruction to ensure academic and research success.
