Introduction | Required Courses | Elective Courses | Other Relevant Courses | Contact Info

The biochemistry program at Carleton rests on the close cooperation between the Departments of Biology and Chemistry. Emerging as a recognized discipline early in the last century, biochemistry has grown into a vast subject that spans several established disciplines. It serves as the link between the fields of chemistry and biology, and even as it flourishes at the interface of these subjects, it also holds a strong position within the two traditional disciplines. Fundamentally, biochemistry seeks to establish an understanding of biological phenomena at a molecular level.

The biochemistry concentration requirements reflect the fundamental importance of the intellectual tools and structures of biology and chemistry to the study of all issues in biochemistry, and we ask students to get a grounding in both disciplines. It is likely that many students enrolling in the concentration will major in either biology or chemistry. To encourage breadth within the concentration, no more than five six-credit courses from a students own major may be counted toward the minimum requirements of the concentration.

Both the biology and chemistry departments maintain vigorous weekly seminar programs, regularly bringing to the college distinguished scientists, including many biochemists. Each concentrator should make it a priority to attend relevant seminars whenever possible.

Finally, both the chemistry and biology departments regularly offer integrative exercise experiences in biochemistry as an option for their majors. Concentrators who are biology or chemistry majors have the option of furthering their pursuit of biochemistry through a biochemical topic as the basis for their senior integrative exercise

The college offers a number of related courses that would enhance the background of a biochemistry concentrator. The following courses are not part of the concentration, but do support the program. In particular, we strongly encourage interested students to enroll in BIOL 240, Genetics.

If you have questions about the Biochemistry Concentration and how it will fit into your program at Carleton College, please contact the Concentration Coordinator: David Alberg, Mudd 191, x 4410.

The Ph.D. Program in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

The Wake Forest School of Medicine Department of Biochemistry offers the Ph.D. degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology through the Graduate School of Wake Forest University, and is recruiting highly motivated and enthusiastic students interested in training for a successful career in biomedical sciences. Students interested in obtaining a Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology apply to the Molecular and Cellular Biosciences Track, a recently designed integrated curriculum that was inaugurated in the 2011-2012 academic year. Students in the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology graduate program benefit from a low student to faculty ratio and a collegial atmosphere that promotes faculty-student interactions and a strong training environment.

The faculty of the Department of Biochemistry welcomes students in the Master of Science in Biomedical Science Program. The Master of Science degree is a full-time, graduate degree option that is designed to help students with a bachelors degree, preferably with a major in the sciences, improve their academic foundation in the biomedical sciences, and augment their credentials for admission into health professional programs, Ph.D. study in the sciences, or entrance to the workforce. Students in the Master of Science Program have the option to transition to the Ph.D. program. A detailed description of the Master of Science Program can be found at the Master of Science in Biomedical Science Program web site.

The research interests of the facultyare focused in four inter-related areas that address fundamentally important biological questions:

The Department features research and training in four key technologies that form the core of modern Biochemistry:

Details of our research programs can be found in the Laboratory Page of individual faculty members

Collaborative Training and Research

Department of Biochemistry faculty members participate in multiple interdisciplinary efforts in graduate student training. For example, the following NIH Institutional Training Grants (T32 grants) have Biochemistry faculty members as part of their training faculty:

In addition to the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology graduate program, Department of Biochemistry faculty members also participate in additional graduate programs, whose students may be working beside you in the laboratory:

Research in the Department of Biochemistry is highly collaborative. Faculty members and students participate in the activities of a variety of research centers whose missions include promoting research collaborations. These include:

Students apply to the Molecular and Cellular Biosciences (MCB) Track. The MCB Admissions Committee evaluates applications based on undergraduate research experience, grade point average, the verbal and quantitative scores on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) in the case of applicants for whom English is not the native language, letters of reference, and a statement of personal interests. Selected applicants will be invited for an interview during the process of consideration. Major criteria for evaluation of the interview are the degree of motivation for a career in science and the quality and extent of the applicants undergraduate scientific training.

Students participate in the MCB common curriculum in the first year. This curriculum includes two Core Courses that cover macromolecular synthesis, structure and function; gene expression and genetics; cell structure and communication; organ systems integration, and physiology and pathology. In addition, students take a course in analytical skills and at least three electives. Students also participate in at least three individual laboratory research rotations in their first year in order to choose a faculty research advisor. Students choosing to pursue a Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology enter the program at the beginning of the second year. The Ph.D. preliminary examination is completed at the end of the second year, after the student has passed all required courses. In subsequent years students primarily continue with laboratory research under the direction of their research advisor. Completion of the Ph.D. degree requires the student to generate a body of original research and an oral defense of a written research dissertation. A detailed description of the degree requirements can be found at Guidelines for Graduate Students.

The Department of Biochemistry has state-of-the-art facilities for use by students and postdoctoral fellows. Students are encouraged to develop a hands-on understanding of the instrumentation used in their research. Laboratories for macromolecular X-ray crystallography and high-resolution NMR spectrometry as well as, rapid reaction kinetics, time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism spectroscopy, phosphorimaging, dynamic light scattering, cellular imaging, and analytical ultracentrifugation have been established to meet the needs of investigators. The professionally staffed Biomolecular Resource Core Facilities are also available for protein and DNA sequence analysis, peptide and oligonucleotide synthesis, GC- and tandem mass spectrometry.

Financial Aid

All Ph.D. students in the Department of Biochemistry are fully supported financially by tuition scholarships and graduate research assistantships. Additional scholar achievement awards are offered to select outstanding applicants. Students who have advanced to candidacy are also eligible to compete for the departments prestigious Artom and Cowgill Fellowships, which provide additional stipend and support for travel to scientific conferences. Upper level students are invited to compete for the Cheung award, awarded by the Department to an outstanding student in Biochemistry each year.
