Biochemistry Learning Community I and II with Dr. Eric Underbakke

The Biochemistry Learning Community introduces first-year students to the academics, careers, and community of the Biochemistry majors. Peer mentors work with incoming students to build connections to academic resources, research opportunities, and the professors and students of the Biochemistry, Biophysics, and Molecular Biology (BBMB) department.

Chemical Principles in Biological Systems with Dr. Amy Andreotti

"[BBMB 2010 was] honestly one of the best courses I have taken so far. Dr. Andreotti has become one of my favorite professors. She made the class very enjoyable and also readily prepared me for future biochemistry courses. This class helped me understand basic concepts and research methods in biochemistry a lot better." - Amanda, Biochemistry '27

Biochemistry I with Dr. Dipali Sashital

"In BBMB 4040 Dr. Sashital teaches important biochemical concepts that will stick with you for the entirety of your scientific career. Her teachings help build a foundation of scientific concepts that is essential to create a solid future scientist." - Olivia, Biochemistry '26

Techniques in Biochemical Research with Dr. Olga Zabotina

"Like everyone in the biochemistry department, I heard the rumors about 4110 being hard, time consuming, and in no way enjoyable. This honestly couldn’t be further from the truth. Yes the course is challenging but the instructors and TAs want you to succeed just as much as they do in any other BBMB course." - Trevor, Biochemistry '26
