Biochemistry is an interdisciplinary science focused on chemical processes that occur in living systems. The mission of the Biochemistry undergraduate program is to prepare and inspire students for the discovery and dissemination of knowledge to the greater life sciences community through research and instruction. The faculty believe in a balance of interdependent formal classroom instruction with innovative laboratory training and experience in inquiry-based research methods. Classroom and lab training emphasize chemistry, physics, and biology of metabolism, molecular biology, macromolecular structure, function and synthesis. The ultimate goal is to infuse each student with sufficient breadth and depth of understanding that they are conversant in the rigors of life at the molecular level, and capable of contributing to a wide variety of future career paths that require detailed understanding of physical and chemical principles in living systems. Our program is accredited by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
