Biochemistry faculty are very active in biochemical and biomedical research. A diverse range of research takes place including investigations of fundamental biological processes and studies of specific diseases. Undergraduate students participate in research during their final year. Interaction with graduate students and postdoctoral research fellows contributes to an exciting environment for scientific study.
As a component of a research-intensive university with a broad educational mandate, the Department has a mission that encompasses two distinct goals:
Faculty members will provide the expertise necessary to maintain modern, high-caliber research programs that attract external funding and high-quality graduate students. They will also have sufficient breadth of interest and experience to meet current and future teaching obligations.
