Association of Medical and Graduate Departments of Biochemistry



The Association of Medical and Graduate Departments of Biochemistry (AMGDB), founded in 1969, represents Departments of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at graduate and medical schools in North America, including the 50 United States and Puerto Rico, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean. The AMGDB is concerned with issues related to fundamental and biomedical science, health research, science policy and education. Through its web site, it serves as a conduit between departments and graduate student and postdoctoral applicants. It also notifies young scientists about openings for faculty positions in biochemistry departments throughout North America. It maintains a examination question bank , discussion board and listing of biochemistry departments and chairs. In addition, the AMGDB representatives speak on issues related to biomedical science and education with key members of the House and Senate at the National Caucus of Basic Biomedical Science Chairs, emphasizing the need to maintain our nation's leadership in scientific discovery and improvements in the quality of life.
