Biochemistry is the central discipline of modern molecular life science.
The biochemical approach has led to the emerging life science revolution that promises to establish the next few decades as the era of biology. Biochemistry as a discipline and as a department are central to the mission of the University of Arizona as we move into the new millennium. In all of these activities, the University Department of Biochemistry is but one component of the university that shapes our students' lives. However, the Biochemistry Department should assume a leadership role in all of these areas, and must work together with sister departments in the biological sciences to assure that the University of Arizona maintains its reputation as a leader in the field and advances in the level of its recognition.
