Bachelors in Chemical Biology

Chemical Biology is the study of small molecules as targets to effect, manipulate or interrogate biological processes. With the rapidly expanding importance of chemical biology as a key discipline in the chemical and molecular sciences, the Chemistry Department offers a B.S. degree in Chemistry with emphasis in Chemical Biology. Building on solid groundings in general, organic, analytical and physical chemistry, the B.S. in Chemical Biology integrates core knowledge contents from the interface between chemistry and biology, combined with practical laboratory experience and access to the latest chemical instrumentations. Chemical Biology majors will receive thorough training and indepth preparation to enable them to pursue careers in the field of chemical and molecular biology, biochemistry or any related field in the molecular sciences.
