Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Learn science by doing science.
As our understanding of the molecular basis of life increases, the fields of biochemistry and molecular biology are rapidly expanding. Our program focuses on experiential learning and project-based lab work, meaning that a major in biochemistry and molecular biology (BCMB) at Lewis & Clark is all about “doing science.” Our interdisciplinary curriculum prepares students for careers in biochemical and biomedical research, biotechnology, and genetic engineering, and is ideal for those planning to go on to graduate programs in biochemistry, genetics, or cell/molecular biology as well as medical, dental, or veterinary schools. Students who choose this challenging program develop critical thinking skills, oral and written communication skills, and a deep understanding of many of science’s most fundamental questions.
Talia Lichtenberg BA ’20More about TaliaI work with a great team of students who all care about making sure that we provide a sense of community.
Hannah Spears BA ’18More about HannahStructural Biochemistry taught me that developing analytical thinking skills is more important than memorization.
Max Frisbie BA ’22More about MaxI think of the liberal arts as a setting in which there is an excellent support system aiding you as perspectives are challenged and changed. It’s exciting, difficult, and rewarding.
