Did you know biology isn’t just for biologists anymore? That chemists have crossed over into the field? And that biochemists and chemical biologists are at the forefront of many recent scientific advances?
It’s true – and their work touches nearly every aspect of our lives – including agriculture, biotechnology and healthcare. They have analyzed DNA traces found during crime scene investigations, formulated insulin and other life-saving medicines, and have even designed yeast-based biosensors that sniff out explosives.
If this emerging discipline sounds exciting, then Lawrence Tech’s Bachelor of Science in Chemistry with a concentration in Biochemistry and Chemical Biology might be the right degree for you. This degree program was designed to prepare you for this exciting field with a strong background in both chemistry and biology – and a full appreciation of their interdependence. Career options range from forensic science, medicine and molecular cell biology to the pharmaceutical industry, biotechnology, medical technology and more.
