The research is a nationwide collaborative effort. It brings together experts in molecular biology (Ramsden) and cancer cell biology (Gaorav Gupta, MD, PhD, assistant professor in the UNC School of Medicine Department of Radiation Oncology and UNC Lineberger member), biochemistry (Richard Wood, PhD, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston), structural biology and mechanism (Sylvie Doublié, PhD, University of Vermont, Burlington) and biophysics (Eli Rothenberg, PhD, Perlmutter Cancer Center, New York).
The Department will actively support the Institute in patient care by providing the latest laboratory facilities to aid in diagnosis, monitoring, and prognosis. The services will range from routine lab tests in clinical biochemistry to sophisticated biomarker testing involving molecular diagnostics, genomics, and proteomics. The Department will specifically emphasize providing primordial and primary screening facilities for the diseases prevalent in the community.
Biochemistry is the interface between the chemical and biological universe, with particular attention paid to the study of life. A Bachelor of Science in biochemistry will give students a chemical understanding of the biological world that surrounds us. Students in this major will take introductory and advanced courses in both chemistry and biology.
Hello! I'm Sagar, a biochemistry, biology, and biophysics triple major and chemistry submatriculant (B.A./M.S.) passionate about research and scientific communication. I work in Dr. Nikolaos Sgourakis's lab at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, where I conduct structural immunology research. Outside of research, I'm involved with Moelis Access Science (MAS), PennScience Journal, and CURF Undergraduate Advisory Board.
