Strong Molecular Biology / Biochemistry

Hi everyone,

I am looking for schools in the New England with strong molecular biology / biochemistry programs.

In addition to the major, I would love to know any schools that fund students to conduct independent research projects. Projects I am interested in pursuing fall into the genetic engineering field.

Thank You

Dan

I’m pretty sure Wesleyan University has a strong molecular biology department. As for independent projects, I don’t know too much about how funding is allocated, but many students conduct research so I would assume there is a lot of money to go around. The only downside is that Wesleyan is quite competitive, which may or may not be a problem for you.
