The biochemistry program is about fearless explorations of wonders at the interface of biology and chemistry.

Under the direction of Dr. 小宁张, the program provides a basic understanding of living systems that emphasizes the molecular and cellular aspects of biology.

The biochemistry program is accredited by the American Society for 生物化学 and Molecular Biology. All of our biochemistry graduates have achieved ASBMB certification, an assurance that they have the knowledge and understanding of core competencies 在生物化学 and molecular biology. The majority of our graduates have achieved certification with distinction, placing them in the top 13% of biochemistry graduates nationwide who have participated ASBMB certification exams.

研究设备 & 设施

A new biotechnology and molecular genetics lab equipped with nanodrop spectrophotometer, various centrifuges, ThermoCyclers (including real-time), DNA, RNA and protein electrophoresis equipment, 凝胶成像系统, 细胞培养罩, confocal and regular fluorescent microscopes, 等. provides the technical component for the program and affords research opportunities for the students during their junior and/or senior years. The final year of study features independent laboratory research.

Career Paths for 生物化学 专业
