Student Activities and Resources
Students in the biochemistry and molecular biology program may find the activities of the Â鶹´«Ã½ Chemistry Club, which is a student affiliate with the American Chemical Society (ACS), of particular interest. The ACS is the largest society devoted to a single discipline, consisting of over 160,000 members at all degree-levels and in all fields of chemistry. Students receive many benefits by being affiliated with ACS, including educational material, career information, summer internship opportunities, and discounts on journals. Students also have the opportunity to present their undergraduate research at the annual Undergraduate Research Symposium, which is sponsored by the New York Section of the ACS.
The Â鶹´«Ã½ Chemistry Club hosts different activities that help students apply chemistry to the real word. These activities include guest speakers, tours to local points of scientific interest, including museums exhibits, as well as participation in National Chemistry Week. The club welcomes all science majors to join this club and to become a member of ACS.
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Organizations
In addition, many faculty are members of prestigious national and international organizations that provide an unparalled resource for students in the program, both for the advancement of innovative research, as well as for career planning.
