Biochemistry will henceforth receive additional emphasis in the University by the establishment of a new Department of Biochemistry under the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.
The Faculty has voted approval of the new Department, which will be composed of three subdepartments: Biological Chemistry and Physical Chemistry, at the Medical School in Boston, and a new subdepartment of Biochemistry in Cambridge.
Heretofore research and graduate instruction in biochemistry have been chiefly centered in the Medical School, but more recently, an increasing interest in biochemical problems and methods has been displayed by those laboring in the allied fields of physics, chemistry, and biology.
The establishment of the new subdepartment in Cambridge will provide additional facilities for research and instruction in biochemistry in close proximity to the Departments of Biology and of Chemistry. It will be staffed by a number of now appointments and it is expected that certain members of the Departments of Biology and Chemistry will become part-time members of the new subdepartment.
