Department Overview
The department maintains a separate webpage, updated frequently with announcements and other
department news. There is also more information about department faculty and
their research projects. We encourage you to pay us a virtual visit at

The Biomolecular Sciences Department offers instruction in molecular biology, cell
biology, genetics, and physiology that is strongly integrated with the theory
and practice of molecular biological research. The Department offers two B.S degrees in Biomolecular Sciences, and
participates in an additional interdisciplinary program that leads to a B.S.
degree in Biochemistry. In
addition, the Department offers a Minor in Biomolecular Science appropriate for students with majors other than
biomolecular science.
The department is an active mix of students and faculty, classroom instruction and lab research, mostly
located on the third floor
of Copernicus Hall. Student-centered research is a feature of all undergraduate programs in
Biomolecular Sciences. The Biomolecular Sciences Department includes a wide range of
modern research equipment in laboratories designed both for class instruction
and for independent student research. Special
facilities include a protein purification and analysis facility, a cell culture
facility, a molecular genetics research laboratory, a laboratory animal care
suite, and a computer laboratory. Student-centered
biomolecular research activity is also promoted, fostered, and supported by the
Biotechnology Institute at CCSU, an interdisciplinary organization (housed in
the Biomolecular Sciences Department) that is dedicated to developing college
graduates with excellent research skills. The
Biomolecular Sciences Department is strongly committed to student advising, and
routinely promotes and participates in academic and extracurricular activities
aimed at facilitating student learning and success.
