The mission of the Department of Biomolecular Chemistry is to carry out world class research that addresses molecular mechanisms of biological processes, particularly as it relates to human disease, and to disseminate that knowledge through teaching and training of future scientists, physicians, and health science professionals. The advancement and transmission of knowledge is part of the broader mission of the School of Medicine and Public Health (SMPH) and the University. Additionally, BMC faculty members provide service and expert advice to the SMPH and other units of the University, and the state, nation, and world. In its research, teaching, service, and outreach efforts alike, BMC is committed to building a community that is open to and accepting of all.
Our Research Themes
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.
