<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Biophysics Department at Johns Hopkins University is launching a new</span><a href="https://landing.advanced.jhu.edu/master-of-science-in-biophysical-chemistry-and-design-for-biotechnology/" style="color: rgb(70, 120, 134);"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);"> Master’s
of Science in Biophysical Chemistry and Design for Biotechnology program</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">, and we’re looking for students.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="font-family: Optima-Regular; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This program focuses on building essential skills in the theory and application of biophysical chemistry and computation to protein and RNA therapeutics. Our curriculum includes training in physical
chemistry of macromolecules, computational analysis and design of macromolecules using physics- and AI-based methods, and lab techniques for screening and stability testing. Our faculty are highly respected in the field, and the coursework includes a mix
of cutting-edge coursework and hands-on lab experiences, including a summer lab intensive. Students will train on instruments and software that are heavily used throughout biotech and pharma.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="font-family: Optima-Regular; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Classes will be held in person on the Johns Hopkins homewood campus in Baltimore. Students can either participate full- or part-time, completing the program in 10-24 months. The program is open
to international students with visa eligibility.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="font-family: Optima-Regular; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in;">
