Biochemistry/Molecular Biology

• UW-Eau Claire has an excellent reputation of producing well-trained graduates.
• Fully equipped laboratories are available for teaching and research in genetics, recombinant DNA techniques, plant and animal physiology, microbiology, biochemistry, organic chemistry and physical chemistry.
• The laboratories are well-equipped with up-to-date instruments not often found in undergraduate laboratories, including a DNA synthesizer and sequencer, a gas chromatograph/ mass spectrometer, a 3-D molecular graphics workstation, a super-conducting nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer, a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, and transmission and scanning electron microscopes.
• Through laboratory-based education, students receive hands-on experience in problem solving and in modern techniques, experimental design and data analysis.
• Internships provide students the opportunity to gain real world experience at university research laboratories, biotechnology firms and clinical laboratories.
• The UW-Eau Claire Molecular Movement Club provides students with leadership opportunities, job search assistance and information about professional schools.
• Students participate in weekly seminars featuring presentations by top researchers.
• Through our student/faculty collaborative research program, students participate in fascinating research projects while working one-on- one with a professor in their field and gaining in-depth knowledge for their careers or graduate school.
• Small classes and individual attention.
• Unlike many other public universities, classes are not taught by teaching assistants. Students work alongside interesting professors who inspire learning.
