生物化学 & 分子生物学

Centre’s program in bio化学 and molecular biology (BMB) is designed to provide a solid introduction to the cellular and molecular fundamentals of life.

概述

The BMB program meets the needs of a variety of students: those who want to pursue bio化学, 细胞生物学, and/or molecular genetics in graduate school, those who want to pursue a career in the health professions (dentistry, 医学, 药店, 兽医, 或联合医疗领域), 这些生物学, 化学, or physics students who want to broaden and complement their course of studies.

Our BMB labs feature state-of-the-art instruments including an image analysis system consisting of a Zeiss fluorescence microscope equipped with a digital camera connected to a computer, 低温恒温器, cell culture facilities (laminar flow hood, 组织培养箱, inverted phase-contrast microscopes), computerized spectrophotometer, numerous electrophoresis apparatuses, equipment for recombinant DNA work, 超声发生器, a liquid scintillation counter, ultrafreezer, 冷冻干燥器, 冰冷的房间, superspeed and ultracentrifuges, high-performance liquid chromatograph and fraction collectors, as well as additional routine laboratory equipment.

课程

The BMB major begins in the first-year/sophomore years with a solid foundation in biology, 化学, 数学, 和物理. In the junior and senior years, students progress from macromolecules to cellular metabolism to molecular genetics to 细胞生物学. 同时, these junior-senior courses introduce the student to most of the major experimental tools that are critical to this molecular understanding of life. 最后, students are exposed to a wide spectrum of research currently underway in the field, partly through their senior seminar, and partly through research participation.

主要的需求

从实践经验中学习

Students engage in hands-on learning experiences and reflection to develop skills and increase knowledge retention.

Most BMB upper-class students will be involved in research participation, either at Centre alongside faculty or in several off-campus programs with which Centre is affiliated. 

实习

We're committed to helping students find quality internship experiences in the career area of their choice.

Internship experiences provide an opportunity to apply academic study to real life problems. Centre students have gained valuable experience interning at various institutions, 包括哈佛大学, 约翰霍普金斯大学, 斯坦福大学, 范德比尔特, 和加州大学洛杉矶分校.

职业生涯

Our extraordinary liberal arts and sciences education prepares students for meaningful lives and careers.

The BMB program prepares students for graduate training in bio化学, 细胞生物学, and molecular genetics as well as health professions such as dentistry, 医学, 或者其他健康科学. Graduates are also ready for employment in areas such as biomedical research and the pharmaceutical industry.
