For the past century, the Department of Biomolecular Chemistry (BMC) has excelled in research, teaching and service as a proud member of the School of Medicine and Public Health. Our research is at the forefront of biochemical research, integrating fundamental molecular mechanisms with human disease. Our key strengths in Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Genomics, and Development make us a nexus for collaborative studies between basic scientists and clinicians. We cultivate a highly interdisciplinary environment and are committed to building a community open to and accepting of all. Take a look around for our latest news and events and to learn more about BMC’s research, graduate program (Integrated Program in Biochemistry), and planned giving opportunities.
