OSBP is an interdisciplinary graduate program that is administered through the Graduate School. OSBP is cooperatively managed by members of the biochemistry community throughout the campus. The charter of the program puts primary responsibility for program management on the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry in the College of Arts & Sciences and the Department of Biological Chemistry & Pharmacology in the College of Medicine, but faculty from throughout the university serve on OSBP committees.
