Biochemists
and molecular biologists ask how the molecules found in biological systems
function to confer the properties of living organisms. The disciplines
of biochemistry and molecular biology form the two sides of the boundary
between the classical disciplines of biology and
chemistry.
Chemists and biologists draw inspiration from each other
as scientists at this boundary and learn more about how biological
molecules react and interact to convert energy, build complex structures,
maintain
order, catalyze reactions,
and convey information spatially and temporally.
The major is administered by
a committee composed of equal numbers of faculty from the departments
of Biology and Chemistry.

Adventure for most college students
can be found at the end of a bungee cord or the
top of a rock-climbing wall, but for College of
Wooster junior Jim Graham, there’s plenty
of adventure and excitement in the science lab.
