学校艺术学院 & 科学
Solve problems at the interface of biology and chemistry. Use interdisciplinary methods to approach unique and pressing problems.
你会学到什么
You'll learn about chemical and biochemical sciences in an environment that incorporates classroom teaching, class-associated lab experiences, an introduction to scientific literature, and independent research. You'll develop critical thinking and complex problem-solving skills along with the technical proficiencies required of scientists working in the biochemical and molecular sciences.
- 追求真理
Our program is infused with Catholic, 本笃会的思想, which means that you'll learn through an integrated approach to faith and reason.
- Prepare for Career Success
生物化学家s work in a variety of fields from pharmacology and psychiatry to forensics and biotechnology. If medical or veterinarian school are in your plans, this major can also prepare you well for what to expect!
- Gain Hands-on Experience
在 Summer Undergraduate Research Vocation Experience (检验), students conduct original research with a faculty mentor, then interpret their data and present their results.
特色教师
大卫年代. Ronderos博士
Chair of 生物化学, Associate Professor of Biology, Fellow in Catholic Studies
I have been a faculty member in the biology program since 2013. I have taught courses on anatomy & 生理学, 血液学, cell and molecular biology, 霍华德·休斯医学研究所的SEA-PHAGES, and I developed our biology capstone course, Evolution and the Integration of Knowledge. I assist in our pre-medicine program, and I'm a Catholic studies fellow and a member of the Society of Catholic Scientists (SCS).
In 2017, I helped launch a unique summer research program called SURVE, which provides paid lab research internship opportunities to students. SURVE has enjoyed funding support from the NIH ND-INBRE program.
詹姆斯一. Peliska博士
Dean of the 艺术学院 and 科学, Professor of 生物化学 and Chemistry, Fellow in Catholic Studies
I started my academic career as a professor at the University of Michigan 学校 of Medicine. 在密歇根, I developed my ongoing research program in HIV-1 replication, and I was involved in the initiation of their undergraduate 生物化学 program. For the last 20 years, I have been a leader in Catholic higher education as a professor, as a department chair, and in my current role as Dean of the 艺术学院 and 科学, overseeing these programs at the University of Mary. I maintain an active student-engaged research program in HIV-1 drug discovery and work with colleagues in the development of modern and relevant courses in the sciences.
蒂莫西·H. 单击博士
Assistant Professor of Chemistry, Assistant Professor of 生物化学
I am a computational biochemist by training. I have studied proteins, DNA, and carbohydrates, along with some drug modeling. I have lived in several states and lived in Taiwan for six years. I have taught biochemistry, organic chemistry, and general chemistry to non-majors. I have taught myself Python, which is useful in my field. In my free time, I enjoy reading, programming, listening to podcasts, and spending time with my wife.
