Program Description
Undergraduate Biochemistry Program Co-Directors, Chris Francklyn and Chris Landry (not pictured: Sylvie Doublié)
The University of Vermont announced the creation of a new interdisciplinary program in Biochemistry beginning in the Fall of 2002 that includes faculty from the Colleges of Agriculture, Arts and Sciences, and Medicine. The program offers the B.S. degree. In addition to course and laboratory work, the program includes the opportunity to directly participate in original research with program members, including those in Biochemistry, Chemistry, Microbiology & Molecular Genetics, and others across the University.
Students graduating from this program are well positioned for careers in a range of areas, including medicine, bio-medical research and teaching, and all of the many disciplines that encompass the molecular aspects of the life sciences. With the recent publication of the Human Genome and other discoveries describing the molecular basis of life, tremendous opportunities await those students with the right background and training.
Don’t just watch the future of science-join us and become part of the community of scientists making it happen!
