Discover BMB at BU
The mission of the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (BMB) program, founded in 1992, is to provide a roadmap for students to navigate the great many discoveries and breakthrough technologies occurring on an almost daily basis in the biomedical and biotechnological sciences. This mission is being accomplished by providing undergraduates with a strong foundation in biology and chemistry, followed by more focused advanced courses and the opportunity to conduct research within these disciplines. Graduates with a BMB degree compete successfully for both admissions to top advanced degree programs in the biomedical sciences (research and medicine) and in obtaining positions in the biotechnology workforce.
