Overview

Key Features

Biochemistry and molecular biology are at the interface between the chemical and biological methods of looking at nature; therefore, the program draws heavily from these disciplines. While chemistry is concerned with the relationship between molecular structure and reactions, and biology focuses on cells and organisms, biochemistry and molecular biology probe the details of the structures and interactions of molecules in living systems in order to provide the foundation for a better understanding of biological molecules both individually and as members of more complex structures.

BIMO Program Learning Objectives

The interdisciplinary Biochemistry and Molecular Biology program from Williams College content includes introductory and upper level courses in both the biology and chemistry departments. Learning outcomes for the students completing the concentration include the following:

Students will learn foundational/fundamental content in introductory courses and more advanced and specialized content in upper level classes of their choosing.
Students will learn how to develop experimental hypotheses and design appropriate experiments in classes and laboratories.
Students will develop skills in collaborating effectively while conducting laboratory projects.
Students will gain proficiency in reading, understanding and critically evaluating research literature while developing oral and written communication skills.

Students will gain an appreciation for the ways that molecular, biological and chemical approaches complement each other in exploring fundamental processes in biological systems.
