Molecular Biochemistry and Biophysics<br />
Why should a biologist know about physics and chemistry?<br />
Or physicists and chemists about biology? Just ask some <strong>of</strong> our<br />
faculty who are using x-ray synchrotron radiation science to<br />
study proteins, their molecular structures, and the drugs that<br />
interact with them. This research may lead to the development<br />
<strong>of</strong> more successful, potent drugs.<br />
Molecular biochemistry and biophysics (M.B.B.) is an interdisciplinary<br />
major, combining biology, chemistry and physics<br />
with innovative experimental techniques.<br />
Through this study, students will discover the essential building<br />
blocks <strong>of</strong> life, how they fit together, how they work, and<br />

the physical methods for exploring these building blocks. With<br />
its quantitative emphasis and research focus, this program is a<br />
great way to prepare for careers in medicine or medical<br />
research. It is also one <strong>of</strong> the majors that is part <strong>of</strong> the honors<br />
medical programs with Rush University and the Chicago<br />
Medical School. In addition, M.B.B. majors may be eligible to<br />
apply for the Applied Sciences Scholarship (ranging from half<br />
to full tuition) and the Research Honors Program.<br />
