The Biology Department together with Departments of Biochemistry, Microbiology & Immunology, and Neuroscience produce the framework of The UPBM.

Biochemistry is the study of chemical processes relating to and occurring within living organisms. By combining resources and faculty from across the University, our biochemistry students access the best courses, seminars, and research opportunities available.

The Program provides academic year opportunities to do independent research for credit as well as DeKiewiet Summer Fellowships, which support summer research by outstanding University of Rochester undergraduate students.
