生物化学概述

生物化学 is the science that examines the 函数 and structure of the molecules important to living organisms. It 连接化学和生物学的学科, using theories and protocols of each to better understand the world in and around us. Chatham’s biochemistry major is designed for students who are planning graduate work in biochemistry or molecular biology, 谁想找生物技术方面的工作, 或者申请医学专业的学生, 牙科, 或者兽医学校.

The hours I spend with students in the classroom are few in comparison to the hours I spend in my office discussing long-term academic plans, 复杂的概念, 或者学习技巧. I believe in each student’s ability to embrace the Chatham mission as their own.

——罗伯特·莱坦博士.D., Chair of the Science Department and assistant professor of chemistry

探索生物化学学位:

生物化学 is a science whose boundaries now encompass many aspects of chemistry and biology, 从分子和细胞到有机体和生态. Scientists use the tools of biochemistry and molecular biology to explore cures for disease, 改善公共卫生, 修复环境污染, 开发更便宜、更安全的天然产品.

  • Students enjoy ready access to outdoor areas for fieldwork, including the 388-acre 伊甸堂校园—the world’s first academic community built for the study of sustainability, 和它的林地, 流, 研究实验室.
  • Students have the opportunity for hands-on work in our large human cadaver lab.
  • Students can also leverage Pittsburgh’s tight-knit academic and medical community through connections our faculty has around the region.

 

CHM338:生物化学我

This course covers the structure and 函数s of proteins, polynucleic酸, 生物膜. 教授酶和动力学. 代谢途径, with emphasis on the thermodynamics of the equilibria and the storage and usage of energy, 被覆盖.

资金的机会

Each year, Chatham runs a Summer 本科 研究 Program. In addition to giving students experience in laboratory research prior to their capstone seminar, 查塔姆利用资金, such as the Hulme Award and the Theo Colburn and Lorin Maazel 奖, to provide money for biochemistry students to travel to professional conferences and to fund their summer travel and research.
