We believe strongly that such close interactions between students and faculty in small groups typical of most laboratory courses are important and mutually beneficial to the student and the faculty. We provide a variety of opportunities for undergraduate students to engage in independent study and research with individual faculty. In the required senior year research course, you will be part of a research team of faculty, postdoctoral research associates, technicians, and graduate and undergraduate students who are actively engaged in ongoing research projects that are both publicly and privately funded.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading53658_586f5d-fd, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading53658_586f5d-fd[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading53658_586f5d-fd\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading53658_586f5d-fd mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading53658_586f5d-fd[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading53658_586f5d-fd\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading53658_586f5d-fd img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading53658_586f5d-fd[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading53658_586f5d-fd\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading53658_586f5d-fd wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading53658_586f5d-fd\">Rewarding career opportunities for biochemists are exceptionally numerous and varied. A career in biochemistry is not just a job, but an opportunity to explore new phenomena, participate at the frontiers of the most actively expanding areas of science today, and make significant contributions to human beings, our society and our world. Biochemistry is at the core of the rapidly expanding fields of biotechnology, molecular biology and the allied health professions. Graduates of this program work in: public health laboratories, medical, dental, veterinary, and university research laboratories; pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries; environmental research and monitoring laboratories; colleges and universities; and a variety of existing as well as emerging genetic engineering and biotechnology industries.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div
