Welcome

Welcome!! The Department of Biochemistry, located in the College of Medicine at the University of Vermont, welcomes you to our website. Our hope is that you will be able to find anything you want to know about our Department within these pages. If not, please do not hesitate to contact us!

All of the Colleges at the University of Vermont (UVM) have specific missions to fulfill within the University. Our Departmental missions include research, scholarship and teaching. Presently more than 80% of our Faculty have extramural funding for their research programs from NIH, NSF, AHA, ASH, DOE or NHF. These grants, coupled with our frequent receipt of NIH Shared Instrumentation awards, has allowed us to purchase state-of-the-art research equipment for our faculty and students. Our Faculty are also world-recognized leaders- several serving as officers in different national and international scientific organizations and others serving as regular NIH or AHA study-section members. Our Department is also heavily involved in educational activities of the College, offering numerous courses for graduate, medical and undergraduate students.

The Department is primarily located on the fourth floor of the Given Building at the UVM campus. This location provides beautiful views of the Adirondack Mountains of New York and Lake Champlain to the west and the Green Mountains of Vermont to the east while we work in our laboratories.
