Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
About Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Linfield
Biochemistry and molecular biology, as the intersection of the disciplines of chemistry and biology, applies the understanding of interplay of energy, atoms and molecules to the intricate processes which occur within a living cell. The department, attentive to the curriculum recommendations of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, coordinates pertinent course offerings from Linfield's departments of chemistry and biology to provide the framework of integration.
The degree requires a sequence of courses that provide background research in biomolecular sciences for employment at the bachelor's level or graduate training in related areas. It also provides preparation for students wanting to enter professional training programs in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy or other health professions.
Linfield's new science complex
The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is located in the new Linfield University Science Complex. This brand-new 84,400-square-foot science complex has 11 state-of-the-art teaching labs, an expansive collaborative research area and study spaces, all dedicated to the sciences, in addition to various classrooms and a lecture hall with new educational technology.
