The Department of Biochemistry is pleased to welcome our incoming class of 2nd year Biochemistry Specialists. The Biochemistry Specialist program is open to a small cohort of exceptional students who wish to pursue a career in research. This year’s class has already begun their laboratory training in BCH242Y, applying their theoretical knowledge, while honing their skills in fundamental laboratory techniques.
On June 5, 2018 faculty met in the Division of Teaching Labs new Active Collaboration Rooms to discuss active learning strategies, the biochemistry undergraduate programs and curriculum reform. The retreat generated many great discussions around teaching, with faculty sharing their experiences and working together on the vision for undergraduate education.
Stavroula Andreopoulos, Derek Ng and Sian Patterson are awarded a 2018-2020 Elevation Grant from the Advancing Teaching and Learning in Arts & Science (ATLAS) initiatives fund. The proposal “Enhancing Learning of Glucose Metabolism Through Animated and Interactive Media” builds on the previously ATLAS funded pilot project “Visual and Interactive Media for Deeper Molecular Understanding of Enzyme Kinetics” and will help further develop a long-term mutually beneficial collaboration […]
