Recent projects in biochemistry/molecular biology include:
Hamilton's biochemistry program, like all the sciences, is strongly grounded in the College’s innovative liberal arts approach. Students build their writing and speaking skills along with their laboratory skills. Biochemistry is also an interdisciplinary major. All these dimensions make Hamilton's biochemistry grads uniquely qualified to think creatively and make connections among many fields. Graduates have a strong record of admission to graduate and professional schools, and to employment in fields such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, secondary school teaching and science writing.
Students and teachers research and publish together. Students co-authored and published 17 papers in peer-reviewed journals with professors from the Department of Chemistry over a recent five-year period.
Hamilton has regularly hosted the Molecular Education and Research Consortium in Undergraduate Computational Chemistry (MERCURY). The Chemistry Department houses supercomputers and linux clusters for this National Science Foundation-funded consortium, a group of eight liberal arts colleges from across the nation.
Education doesn't conclude at graduation for most Hamilton biochemistry students. The College graduates 15 to 20 biochemistry, chemistry and chemical physics majors each year. Half of those graduates successfully pursue graduate study; another 25 percent pursue other forms of postgraduate professional training.
