Biochemistry
College of Arts and Sciences
Biochemistry is the integration of knowledge from the biological and chemical sciences, among others, leading to the study and application of chemical interactions in living systems.
In addition to building conceptual scientific knowledge, Doane biochemistry students will also develop their quantitative reasoning and communication skills. We put you in the lab, giving you significant experience with equipment, practices, and research. There's also a strong emphasis on professional conduct and ethical decision-making. As a biochemistry major at Doane, you'll graduate with the skills necessary to land your first job or excel in graduate school.
Biochemistry isn't just an excellent path to a profession in medicine. It can also lead you to a career in biotechnology, pharmacology, industry, or government. At Doane, you'll gain the soft and hard skills necessary to excel, no matter what career path you choose.
