During the 16-17 academic year, the Biochemistry Program celebrated its 50th Anniversary.
These celebrations began with a kickoff event held on Tuesday, December 13, 2016. This included a panel of faculty who were involved in the first years of establishing the program as well as talks given by six recent alumna who have used their biochemistry background in various pursuits.
