Why Study Biochemistry at UP?

  • Biochemistry, which uses the language of chemistry to explain biological systems, is an interdisciplinary field of study that combines many areas of knowledge including chemistry, physics, cell biology, and many others.
  • Many of our majors are involved in research with faculty mentors. This transformative experience is considered by both students and faculty as one of the highest impact opportunities that they can take part in.
  • Performing research allows students to take part in the creation of knowledge in a field of study while gaining hands-on experience.
