The VCU Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology faculty has a long and proud tradition of leadership in science and education on national and international stages. We are proud to provide a research and learning environment that is moderate in size — not too big and not too small. Our team is dedicated to the School of Medicine’s mission, and we strive to promote an atmosphere of excellence, congeniality and collaboration in teaching and research.
