Introduction
Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry
In medicine, it's errors in biochemistry that cause most diseases. That's why so many students interested in medicine are attracted to the biochemistry major at Hanover. By focusing on the molecular aspects of biology, especially DNA, you can better understand the chemical processes and reactions that occur in humans and other living creatures. You may also develop a better understanding of food production, how to grow better crops and how to develop biofuels for energy.
With small class sizes, you'll work closely with experienced faculty and have an uncommon level of access to the college's well-supplied lab.

Program Outcome
As a biochemistry major, you'll spend your time studying the molecules and reactions found in living systems. You'll study metabolism and how humans convert food and nutrients into energy that allows us to move and grow. And you'll study how humans make complex biomolecules through biosynthesis pathways. Along the way, you'll use sophisticated lab equipment to get a much closer look, including:
- Spectophometer to study enzyme reactions
- Gel electrophoresis to isolate and identify proteins and nucleic acids
- High-pressure liquid chromatography to isolate proteins and metabolites
