The\u00a0biochemistry and molecular biology program<\/a>\u00a0at Chapman University has earned accreditation by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) for the maximum period of seven years.\u00a0Nationally, fewer than 100 institutions have received the distinction.<\/p>\n

A Benefit for Students<\/h3>\n

Most importantly, the new honor is helpful to the program\u2019s undergraduates applying to graduate school. With accreditation, students in the program are eligible to sit for the ASBMB Certification Exam, which provides them the opportunity to demonstrate their competitiveness with peers from across the nation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe accreditation proves that we meet national standards in education, including curriculum, the facilities and equipment needed, the faculty expertise needed, breadth and depth of biochemistry knowledge, and an inclusive, supportive learning environment,\u201d says Nicolai Bonne, Ph.D., assistant professor of chemistry and leader of the accreditation effort.<\/p>\n

The achievement reflects the growing culture of excellence in the sciences at Chapman, says Jason Keller, Ph.D., interim dean of\u00a0Schmid College of Science and Technology<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAccreditation from the ASBMB is well-deserved recognition of the incredible work of the students and faculty in the biochemistry and molecular biology program at Chapman University,\u201d Keller said. \u201cOver the past decade, Chapman\u2019s program has emerged as an academically rigorous major with a strong focus on student-faculty research. Its alumni have gone on to top medical and dental schools, won competitive awards to support their graduate research and brought their impressive skills to a range of industry challenges. It is wonderful to see this excellence recognized by the ASBMB.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among those students is Chapman\u2019s first Rhodes Scholar,\u00a0Vidal Arroyo<\/a>\u00a0\u201919.<\/p>\n

Top Notch Facilities a Plus<\/h3>\n

In their report, ASBMB committee members particularly noted the program\u2019s excellent teaching and laboratory facilities in the\u00a0Keck Center for Science and Engineering<\/a>, the\u00a0Grand Challenges Initiative<\/a>\u00a0in the Schmid College of Science and Technology, and the University\u2019s focus on diversity.<\/p>\n

Bonne led the successful application process along with program co-directors Marco Bisoffi, Ph.D., and Elaine Schwartz, Ph.D. Among the challenges was meeting the reviewing committee\u2019s demand for tightly written curriculum summaries.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur faculty are excellent at employing active learning strategies, and I felt it important to describe our great efforts thoroughly. With only 250 words available, describing the strategies used in so many courses was tricky,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Professor Emeritus Michael Griffin, Ph.D., established the biochemistry and molecular biology program at Chapman in 2008. Griffin was delighted by the accreditation news.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is nice to receive a professional acknowledgment that our program is rigorous, relevant and respected, having met all criteria of the ASBMB. Many thanks to Dr. Bonne for finding the time and sustainable effort to tackle this,\u201d Griffin said.<\/p>\n
