75th Anniversary Celebrations
The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology has been producing world-class research and training elite scientists since 1950. This year, we celebrate 75 years of excellence — including hosting two Nobel laureates — with a department-wide celebration. We are excited to invite emeritus faculty, current faculty, staff, students, and alumni to join us for a series of scientific talks, historical displays, and more!
