About the Department
The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (BMB) provides exceptional undergraduate and graduate programs that produce undergraduate and graduate students who are successful in multiple endeavors, from matriculation into medical school and life science graduate research programs, to finding research positions in academe, industry and government. Faculty in the department also conduct research in numerous areas such as plant biochemistry, microbiology, science education, bioinformatics, and cancer and chronic disease.

The Department of BMB’s mission is to add to and disseminate understanding of science related to the molecular basis of life in support of the missions of the Division of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources (DASNR) and OSU. It does so in three ways. First, BMB contributes the expertise of its members to research endeavors in DASNR-supported projects. Though sometimes the contribution is through informal consultation, often it is by full collaborative participation in these projects. Second, BMB maintains facilities, equipment, and services essential for modern molecular biological research and makes these available to all DASNR-supported researchers and researchers throughout the university. Third, through its formal teaching program and its workshop program, BMB provides training in the molecular analysis of life processes that prepares students to join active research teams or health professions as productive members. BMB sees itself at the center of life science research, able to bring together various interests for the advancement of society and humankind.
