Statement of Purpose:

The Working Group in Biological Chemistry has been established to encourage and support research collaborations, joint efforts in grantsmanship, opportunities for cross-discipline training of graduate and undergraduate students, and joint seminars/workshops that engage faculty from both Chemistry and Biology.

Benefits to the Student:

This effort is an extension of the current track in Biological Chemistry in the MS degree in Biology and provides a platform for identifying and recruiting students into that track, as well as creating interdisciplinary training opportunities for students seeking employment after completing an undergraduate degree.  Such students will be extended a degree of flexibility in choosing elective courses so that they can enroll in a mix of courses from Biology and Chemistry.

The working group will provide research opportunities for students on topics that will use both chemistry and biology as their foundation.  These projects will be supervised by a faculty member from each department.
