COURSES TAUGHT
CHEM 490
Special Topics in Chemistry

Class Description

This class is designed for students who are interested in learning how chemical and biochemical concepts are innovatively integrated to explore biological processes in cellular contents. The class will not only introduce the fundamentals of biochemical concepts conventionally applied in biochemistry but also further present their recent applications in molecular and cellular biology.

Students will appreciate learning how specific biochemical reactions in solution have been successfully applied in complicated heterogenic cellular systems. Students will learn how both chemistry and biology meet together and thus how such interdisciplinary approaches provide new insights in science and even lead paradigm shifts for future science.

This class is intended for senior-level undergraduates and graduate students in either biochemistry or biology disciplines. Others in engineering and physics departments are required to obtain pre-approval from the instructor. Instruction will be in both lecture and seminar format, with emphasis on recent literatures.
