BCM 441 is one of the courses I created at Muhlenberg College. It’s pretty cool that I got to create a course. Not many faculty get to build a course – and own the course number – from day 1.
BCM 441 is the biochemistry I would have wanted to take as a student. It is about all that is amazing and wonderful in biochemistry. It’s about moving past the textbook into what is really happening in biochemistry today integrated with what we’ve learned all along…
My current class is working on their class assignments, blogging about current science and each building their own website on a human disease.
Here are the 2025 projects:
