Biochemistry in a Liberal Arts Environment

2013 Honors Recipients

Bowdoin’s Biochemistry Program draws upon Chemistry and Biology offerings to present a course of study examining the structure and properties of the molecules that make up living organisms. The major in Biochemistry enables students to explore a broad diversity of related disciplines through elective courses, including (but not limited to) microbiology, biophysics, molecular medicine, genetics, free radical biology, and environmental toxicology. Biochemistry is a vibrant field of study and majors are encouraged to get involved in research with Biochemistry Program faculty members or others in the Departments of Biology and Chemistry.
