His ten-week lecture course in biochemistry opens the year-long sequence offered to undergraduate and graduate students seeking degrees in biochemistry and biophysics, American Chemical Society-certified chemistry degrees, and professional pharmacy degrees. He has conducted research in protein chemistry and biological sensory systems, and is currently working on the biology and phenomenology of shells with equal footing in Darwin, Schrodinger and Heidegger. Among his most prized possessions is his autographed copy of Albert Lehninger's 1975 edition of Biochemistry.
