The Chemistry-Biology Interface (CBI) Graduate Program

The Chemistry-Biology Interface (CBI) graduate program formalizes a long-standing tradition of research at The Johns Hopkins University.  This graduate program brings together faculty from the Johns Hopkins University departments of:

Chemistry, Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts and Sciences
Biology, Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts and Sciences
Pharmacology & Molecular Sciences, School of Medicine
Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, Bloomberg School of Public Health
Biomolecular and Chemical Engineering, Whiting School of Engineering
• Biophysics, Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts and Sciences
Biophysics and Biophysical Chemistry, School of Medicine

The CBI program provides students with training that will enable them to challenge the traditional boundaries currently separating chemistry from biology. CBI graduates will be scientists who are capable of interdisciplinary research and will approach both chemistry and biology from a more global and health-related perspective.

As a CBI student you will receive the Ph.D. in Chemical Biology upon completion of the program. The nature of the program will provide you with an expansive choice of faculty thesis advisors (preceptors) whose research spans the range of the Chemistry-Biology interface. As a CBI Ph.D. candidate you will be prepared for research by completing formal course work that is individually tailored to meet your needs, and by participating in research rotations that enable you to make informed choices of research projects. Participation in a weekly Chemistry-Biology Forum will provide you with additional mechanisms for building a comprehensive awareness of the field.

CBI students will be required to have good academic standing with coursework that includes classes in chemistry and the biological, biochemical and/or biomedical sciences.
