CHEM GU4312

This is a survey of chemical biology as a field, coupled with assignments requiring you to dive deeply into particular areas. You learn to present and digest scientific literature at a pace I've only encountered in this particular class so far. You also learn to draft an independent research proposal according to NIH guidelines, which is useful for any aspiring scientists.
