The Biochemistry program is geared towards getting you into chemistry and biology labs early and often. ?By the time you begin your first biochemistry lab in your junior year you will have completed laboratory experiences in general chemistry and general biology, organic chemistry, chemical instrumentation, and genetics, to name a few. Through these multi-disciplined lab experiences, you gain confidence and mastery in a variety of relevant laboratory techniques, instrumental methods, and data analysis. ?You will also gradually develop more autonomy in the design of experimental work and the use of state of the art instrumentation. ?All biochemistry majors in the Department will complete faculty-supervised research as a part of their capstone experience.?
