生物学不再仅仅适合生物学家：化学家已经跨入这一领域。化学生物学家在当今科学的许多最新进展中处于最前沿。他们的工作几乎触及我们生活的方方面面，包括农业，生物技术和医疗保健。他们分析了在犯罪现场调查中发现的DNA痕迹，配制了胰岛素和其他挽救生命的药物，甚至设计了嗅探爆炸物的基于酵母的生物传感器。对生物学和化学领域都精通的科学家和技术人员的需求在不断增长。这种双重知识-“化学生物学”-构成了新兴的学科，它是生物技术行业的核心。劳伦斯理工大学化学生物学理学士学位是对生物医学和生物技术领域对熟练科学家的日益增长的需
By studying the chemical processes within living organisms, and influencing those processes through the application of chemical techniques, chemical biologists seek to understand life at the cellular and molecular level. Through this new and exciting approach, this field is having a profound impact on our world, revolutionizing healthcare, advancing agriculture, expanding the frontier of biotechnology, and formulating live-saving medicines.<br><br>Our four-year program in this dynamic transdisciplinary subject provides students with a strong foundation for a career in scientific research, but also for professions within the fields of biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and forensic science, for example. It is also an ideal preparation for entrance into a graduate program with a scientific or medical focus.<br><br>Dedicated faculty with extensive research and industry experience who are ready to mentor students through professional networking and career placement assistance<br>Program is approved by the American Chemical Society, a professional organization that promotes excellence in chemistry education<br>Opportunities to join our many science-related student organizations, including our American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and American Chemical Society student chapters.
