Faculty Hosting Undergraduate Research Students
Biochemistry at Binghamton is a program, not a department, so all faculty who can host students are from different departments. If you would like more information, click their name to go to their departmental web page. For the most current information about their work, however, feel free to contact them. (Note: because biochemistry is a program, any faculty member in the department of biology or chemistry can host a biochemistry independent study student.)
