Chemistry research

Chemists and Biologists Partner on Research

As an assistant professor of biochemistry, 51¿´Æ¬â€™s Jamie Wallen sees himself as part chemist, part biologist. Perhaps, that’s why it’s no coincidence many of his research projects are collaborations with those from both fields. Wallen believes the ability to learn research skills in both biology and chemistry gives his students an added edge when it comes to pursuing doctorates or moving onto their careers.
