圣弗朗西斯方式的生物化学

Biochemistry at 欧宝体育app入口 is an interdisciplinary program taught by both Biology and  Chemistry faculty. This gives you the unique opportunity to study Biochemistry from a Biologist’s point of view and from a Chemist’s point of view! 你也可以根据自己的兴趣定制生物化学选修课. 生物化学选修课可以集中在生物课程,化学课程,或两者的混合

找到你的生物化学职业道路!

生化学家从事药理学工作, 生物信息学, 癌症生物学, 生物物理学, 免疫学, 和遗传学. 你的兴趣将决定你成为一名研究化学家的道路, 药剂师, 高中教师, 法医科学家, 或者是一系列的职业——这都取决于你.

 

研究: 欧宝体育app入口的学生早在大一就开始进行研究.  You will have the option of continuing an existing research project in Biochemistry or start your own project with the help of faculty in the Biology Department or the Chemistry Department.

 

化学俱乐部: The 美国化学学会 Student Chapter is an organization dedicated to showing the university and the general community how fun science can be. 欧宝体育app入口主持和参加各种各样的校园活动, 包括全国化学周和太阳能5K. We also partner closely with ROCK (农村儿童化学推广) to offer our members many community service opportunities throughout the school year.

 

生物学俱乐部:  The Biology club  has been designed to enhance the education and biology interests of students on campus. 活动和旅行让学生以有趣和有教育意义的方式探索世界.   Speakers are frequently invited in to allow students to gain perspective and greater understanding of many topics related to biology. This club is designed to help students prepare for their future in the sciences as well as to offer opportunities to participate in fellowship and networking activities.

 

荣誉社会:  作为一名生物化学家, you can join both the TriBeta Biological Honor Society and the Gamma Sigma Epsilon Chemistry Honor Society.

  • 部落生物荣誉协会:圣弗朗西斯是Beta Beta Beta的Upsilon Beta分会的所在地, 国家生物荣誉协会. 欧宝体育app入口的分会成立于1980年,有20名活跃的学生和5名教员. 从那时起, Upsilon Beta分会已经吸纳了199名常客, 33副, 5名教职员工. Numerous student members have have received research scholarship grants from the TriBeta national office, 并在地区年会上展示他们的研究. Students who place in the poster or oral presentations receive a scholarship to attend the national meeting. 圣方济各大学于2007年首次主办了NE3地区年会. 
  • Gamma Sigma Epsilon Chemistry Honor Society: Gamma Sigma Epsilon is a national chemistry honor society founded in 1919 at Davidson College. The fraternity was created to promote academic excellence and undergraduate research scholarship in chemistry.  被邀请加入Gamma Sigma Epsilon是化学系学生梦寐以求的荣誉.

外展:  R.O.C.K. (农村儿童化学推广).  在R区.O.C.K. program you can work with local K-12 students to show that science (especially chemistry) is important in everyone's life and can be exciting. R.O.C.K. 志愿者们主要使用家用产品进行动手化学实验和活动.  欧宝体育app入口的重点是在贝德福德附近的5个县进行课堂参观(而不是舞台展示), 布莱尔, 威尔士, 明显差异, 和萨默塞特). R.O.C.K. also looks at the role that chemistry will have in the future as well as how it will benefit our society. 欧宝体育app入口的化学学生至少要参加六个R.O.C.K. 每学年的活动.

课程 & 课程

你将在本科生物化学课程中学到什么

Biochemists study the chemical processes that occur in living cells as well as the structure and function of proteins, 脂质, 碳水化合物, 核酸. Biochemistry gives students a solid background in the fundamental principles of chemistry and biology. Students learn cutting-edge science and how to apply their knowledge to solve problems through critical thinking. Students will graduate ready to enter the workforce directly into research or to pursue further study in graduate or medical school. 学生也可以获得一个 美国化学学会 (ACS)认证学位. 本科研究,实习,或跟随医学专业人员是非常鼓励的.

  • 成功完成课程后,您将能够:
    • 解释细胞和有机体如何感知和控制它们的内部环境并对变化作出反应, 以及分子结构如何决定功能
    • 使用和阅读化学式、命名法和化学反应
    • 描述和识别关系, 结构与立体化学, 并预测有机反应, 机制, 和合成
    • 具备分子遗传学和性状遗传的基本知识
    • apply the laws of thermodynamics to evaluate conditions of chemical equilibrium and direction and rates of chemical reactions
    • read primary sources in 物化学istry (peer reviewed literature) and verbally communicate chemical concepts effectively
  • 作为一名生物化学专业的学生,你将有机会获得ACS认证学位. The 欧宝体育app入口 Chemistry Program has been approved by the 美国化学学会 to offer ACS certified degrees. An institution with an ACS-approved program in chemistry is committed to providing  a broadly based and intellectually challenging experience in chemistry. The ACS Committee on Professional Training (CPT) carefully evaluates a chemistry department’s program with respect to its breadth and depth, 化学系教员的资格, 设施是否充足, 仪表状况, 获取当前的化学文献, 以及有意义的研究经历的机会. An academic institution whose chemistry department meets the guidelines for ACS approval is placed on a nationally recognized list of approved chemistry programs.

  • 生物化学专业与生物、化学专业有什么不同?

    生物化学需要的数学比化学少,而数学比生物学多. Biochemistry also requires more Biology courses than Chemistry and more Chemistry courses than Biology. 用于生物化学选修课, 学生可以选修生物课程, 或化学课程, 或者混搭(同时选修两个系的课程). 学生可以根据自己的兴趣来调整自己的教育.

  • 生物化学家有哪些工作?

    生物化学家对化学和生物学都有很好的理解. 典型的工作包括在实验室工作,了解基础科学, 但生化学家也在化妆品领域工作, 农业, 药物设计和开发, 食品行业, 开发可再生和可生物降解的产品, 政府研究. Biochemists can use their scientific knowledge as advisors to shape government policies or as publication editors.
     

  • 我有多少机会做研究啊?
