Alumni in Biochemistry

Biochemistry has proven an excellent foundation for students intending to enter medical school or for those interested in biologically- or biomedically-oriented research. In addition, appealing career paths lie in patent law, medical or science writing, the public sector of government service and the pharmaceutical industry. The biochemistry major was created in 1993, so most of the four-dozen alumni are early in their careers. They include:
