Statement
The Department of Biochemistry,
Molecular Biology and Biophysics is committed to providing a stimulating
environment in which faculty, staff, and students can work productively together
in pursuit of the following goals:
- To pursue fundamental
research on molecular mechanisms that are responsible for biological processes
and to communicate this work to both basic and applied research scientists
and the public. It is our intention to foster scholarship, high quality research,
and education in each of the fields that constitute the biochemical sciences,
with special emphasis in molecular biology, regulatory biochemistry, microbial
biochemistry, and structural biology and biophysics.
- To provide the best possible
education and training in contemporary biochemistry, molecular biology and
biophysics for undergraduate, graduate, postdoctoral, and allied professional
students.
- To serve as a resource
for biochemical expertise for the campus at large, the University as a whole,
and the people of the State of Minnesota.
