Our exciting research programs provide rich resources for training scientists in the multidisciplinary field of chemistry and biology.
Students learn a variety of cutting-edge chemical and biochemical techniques, such as molecular cloning, site-directed mutagenesis, PCR, protein expression, Western blot, immunoprecipitation, peptide chemistry, enzymology, kinetics,
tissue culture, bioinformatics, UV-Vis, fluorescence, organic synthesis, NMR, mass spectrometry, etc. We welcome excellent graduate and undergraduate students
and other senior scientists to join our research team to resolve critical problems in chemistry, biology and disease.
Both PhD and MS graduate student positions are available in Dr. Zheng's laboratory. Please send your CV and a coverletter stating your research interest.
Keep in mind that TOEFL, GRE and a strong academic record are required for graduate admission. To apply for GSU Ph.D. program in Chemistry, check the Georgia State University Graduate Admission Website for more details.
