Educational resources
Faculty in our department have worked to create comprehensive textbooks that are free and available for our students and the public, including introductory biochemistry textbooks, bioinformatics and a guide to get into medical school. Former BB faculty Kevin Ahern and Indira Rajagopal were instrumental in creating two free textbooks, online courses and numerous other resources to make biochemistry fun, engaging and accessible to all.
