Biochemistry Overview
The hours I spend with students in the classroom are few in comparison to the hours I spend in my office discussing long-term academic plans, tricky concepts, or study skills. I believe in each student’s ability to embrace the Chatham mission as their own.
— ROBERT LETTAN, Ph.D., Chair of the Science Department and assistant professor of chemistry
Explore the Biochemistry Degree:
Biochemistry is a science whose boundaries now encompass many aspects of chemistry and biology, from molecules and cells to organisms and ecology. Scientists use the tools of biochemistry and molecular biology to explore cures for disease, improve public health, remediate environmental pollution, develop cheaper and safer natural products.
The Science Complex
The Science Complex is Chatham’s 10,000 square-foot laboratory building, which features a three-story glass atrium and a modern greenhouse in addition to individual, specialized research spaces; laboratories and classrooms; a range of modern analytical equipment including cell and tissue culture facilities; spectrometers (nuclear magnetic resonance, 紫外可见, IR); and one of the few drift tube mass spectrometers in the country.
Funding Opportunities
Each year, Chatham runs a Summer Undergraduate 研究 Program. In addition to giving students experience in laboratory research prior to their capstone seminar, Chatham uses funding, such as the Hulme Award and the Theo Colburn and Lorin Maazel 奖, to provide money for biochemistry students to travel to professional conferences and to fund their summer travel and research.
Pre-Med Advising Program
Chatham has a robust pre-med advising program to support and mentor students interested in applying to medical-related graduate programs.
