Headquartered in the Science & Learning Center, the Department of Chemistry has acquired many pieces of modern instrumentation that are routinely used by our students in our laboratory classes and research.
Molecular Biology & Biochemistry Teaching Laboratory
Biology & Biochemistry Faculty Research Laboratory
In this biology and biochemistry lab, you'll find students working on their self-designed experiments inspired from their professor's research, or their own curiosity. Even first-year students are encouraged to brainstorm and pursue their own research.
Plus, shared lab spaces encourages students to consider blended approaches to solve complex problems. True to the spirit of the College, STEM at Whittier benefits from the valuable insights and perspectives of other people.
