The Butler Advantage
Our Biochemistry program is set apart because:
All classes, including laboratory courses, are taught by PhD scientists.
Our classes are relatively small and supported by faculty who meet with students outside of scheduled class time.
Our program places great emphasis on undergraduate research, ALL our research students are undergraduate students.
Our new facility is top-notch and well equipped with modern scientific instrumentation
Our department offers short-term, interdisciplinary, study-abroad courses with a scientific focus so that all our students have a better understanding of the complex world they are entering.
Throughout my time at Butler, I participated in various research conferences.
“In the Biochemistry lab, I study serine hydrolase enzymes that are involved in tuberculosis infections. Throughout my research project, I have focused on identifying which specific enzymes are responsible for tuberculosis infections so that they can be targeted in future treatment methods for this infection.”
