The Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry (MBB) of the Rutgers University School of Arts & Sciences has 22 faculty that combine molecular, biochemical, genetic, structural and cell biological approaches to study a diverse array of fundamental biological problems.  Current areas of study include understanding the role of chromatin in transcriptional regulation, RNA processing, DNA replication and transposition, protein folding and molecular recognition, circadian rhythm, signal transduction, cell cycle control, cell death and development.  The faculty are located in the Nelson Biological laboratories, Waksman Institute and the Center for Advanced Biotechnology and Medicine (CABM). 

The MBB Department offers a undergraduate course of study in which traditional and modern biochemistry are integrated with studies in molecular biology. In addition to course work, all MBB majors conduct independent undergraduate research projects in molecular biology and biochemistry. This course of study prepares students for graduate studies in molecular biology and biochemistry and related fields, entry into professional schools in medicine or other health professions, or employment in industries (e.g., biotechnology, pharmaceuticals) in which molecular biology and biochemistry skills are in demand.

MBB Society Meeting: Visit the Protein Data Bank!
 
Rutgers is home to the Protein Data Bank (PDB, www.pdb.org <http://www.pdb.org/> ), a repository for information about experimentally determined structures of proteins, nucleic acids, and complex assemblies. These molecules are visualized, downloaded, and analyzed by users who range from students to specialized scientists. Join the Molecular Biology and Biochemistry Society on Tuesday, March 31st at 7PM at the PDB in Doolittle Hall on Busch Campus to discuss the PDB project, participate in a hands-on demo about how to use the website to search for protein structures, and look at protein-ligand interactions. We will be meeting at 6:45 in the ARC lobby for those that are not familiar with the PDB's location. Pizza will be served!
