Biochemistry is a branch of chemistry concerned with the chemical and biological processes occurring in living organisms. Biochemistry uses the combined knowledge of biology, chemistry and genetics to investigate the complexity of the life processes of animals and plants.
A degree biochemistry prepares the student for several postgraduate activities, including graduate study in the life sciences and professional careers in medicine, dentistry, veterinary...
Studying biochemistry at Denison The biochemistry curriculum is designed to teach students how to deal effectively with a world increasingly dominated by the ideas and methods of modern science.
The department provides three routes to the bachelor's degree:
A bachelor of science major in biochemistry, which is a rigorous course of study providing a strong background for professional schools (medical, dental, pharmacology, veterinary) as well as graduate...
Knowledge of the chemical world is important for any educated person because chemical concepts and issues affect so many aspects of our personal lives and society. Coursework in chemistry naturally prepares one to understand the physical and living worlds; it also prepares one to make scientifically-informed contributions to many other fields and to society. Areas such as molecular biology, environmental law and policy, bioethics, patent law, medicine...

The Biochemistry Program at DeSales is designed for students interested in health care careers as well as academic or pharmaceutical...
Biochemistry has become a field in its own right, both in research and employment. Once considered a subdivision of chemistry, the divisions between chemistry and biology are disappearing.
Additionally, more and more jobs - particularly in the Lincoln and Omaha area -- are emerging in biochemistry. Biochemists can pick from opportunities in medical, industrial and pharmaceutical fields, as well as government institutions such as the Center for Disease...
A concentration in biochemistry is available both within the Chemistry major and the Biology major. For Biology majors, the major additions to the regular B.S. curriculum are a second semester of organic chemistry (CHM 152L), physical chemistry (CHM 161) and two semesters of biochemistry (BCH 227 & 228). The inclusion of additional analytical background in chemisty and biochemistry is valuable preparation for students planning graduate studies in...
The interdepartmental Biochemistry major offers an alternative to students who are interested in both biology and chemistry. The interface of biology and chemistry has become extremely important as an area of research with applications in areas such as pharmaceuticals, medicine and biotechnology. An example of the importance of this field of study is the completion of the sequencing of the human genome. This accomplishment marks the beginning of an...

The Connecticut Department of Labor report, Soaring to New Heights : Connecticut Job Outlook 1998- 2008 , indicates that the job growth for biological scientists to be 43.2%; this 10 year growth rate is among the highest listed. Starting salaries for trained scientists are about $45,000, and increase with advanced study. According to the 2001 Connecticut United for Research Excellence (CURE) economic report, research and development expenditures in...
Some of the most dramatic scientific advances in recent years have been in our understanding of the biochemistry of living organisms. For instance, the phenomenal advances in molecular biology have opened door to a wide range of biomedical and agricultural applications that were not imagined several decades ago, while at the same time presenting a range of bioethical concerns. The Departments of biology and chemistry cooperate in offering students...
DEPARTMENT OBJECTIVES 1. To provide an opportunity for the student to become familiar with the principal phenomena of life and to foster the continuous development of understanding and proficiency in the biological sciences.
2. To provide training in molecular, cellular, organismal, ecological, and environmental Biology and to assist the student in the application of the knowledge acquired in collateral preparation in Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics.
...
