THE MARQUETTE ADVANTAGE

CONDUCT RESEARCH WITH INTERNATIONALLY KNOWN PROFESSORS. Work with them as they explore gene regulations in mammals, chemical signaling between cells and the structure of molecular motors — all using the latest techniques involving recombinant DNA, protein electrophoresis and bioinformatics. It’s great preparation for a career in research or medicine.

TWICE THE EXPERTISE. Twice the access. The major capitalizes on the strengths of Marquette’s Biological Sciences and Chemistry departments, letting you tap into the resources of both: tissue culture and plant growth facilities, and spectroscopy labs including laser, nuclear magnetic resonance and X-ray diffraction facilities.

MACRO OPPORTUNITIES FOR MICRO EXPERTS. The upper Midwest is rapidly becoming the nation’s hotbed for developments in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, food and drug research, and environmental research and protection — all jobs for which our biochemistry and molecular biology graduates are well-prepared.

GUAM FIVE-O. Forensic science is a popular choice among our graduates. One of our recent graduates returned to her home on Guam to use her biochemical expertise to work in the Guam Police Department crime lab.
