Biochemistry studies life at the molecular level. Our research labs, headed by 25 faculty members with primary appointments in the Department of Biochemistry and 8 adjunct professors with primary appointments in other departments, pursue scientific discovery in a number of areas, including cancer, cardiovascular disease and neurodegenerative disease. Biochemistry researchers investigate the fundamental mechanisms of life.
