About the Department
The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (BMB) provides exceptional undergraduate and graduate programs that produce students who are successful in multiple endeavors from matriculation into medical and life science graduate research programs to finding research positions in academe industry and government. Faculty in the department also conduct research in numerous areas such as plant biochemistry microbiology science education bioinformatics and cancer and cell biology.
The Department of BMBs mission is to add to and disseminate understanding of science related to the molecular basis of life in support of the missions of DASNR and OSU. It does so in three ways. First BMB contributes the expertise of its members to research endeavors in DASNR-supported projects. Though sometimes the contribution is through informal consultation often it is by full collaborative participation in these projects. Second BMB maintains facilities equipment and services essential for modern molecular biological research and makes these available to all DASNR-supported researchers and researchers throughout the university. Third through its formal teaching program and its workshop program BMB provides training in the molecular analysis of life processes that prepares students to join active research teams or health professions as productive members. BMB sees itself at the center of life science research able to bring together various interests for the advancement of society and humankind.
