Chemistry

Chemistry is often known as the central science, bridging the gap between the life sciences and physical science, and ranging from the very practical to the highly theoretical. It is the science of matter - its structure, its properties, and how it changes.

All around us we see the discoveries of chemistry: synthetic fabrics, aspirin, penicillin and other pharmaceuticals, detergents, better fuels, plastics, and more abundant food. Chemists enjoy the excitement and rewards of discovery and creation.

Career opportunities exist in research (creating new knowledge or synthesizing new chemicals) or in quality control (testing and analysis) in pharmaceuticals, petroleum, polymers and plastics, paints and adhesives, electronic materials, waste treatment, agricultural chemistry, and foods and fragrances, in addition to many other industries. Chemists are employed in hospitals, as well as clinical, environmental control, and criminology laboratories. Chemistry also occupies a pivotal role in the high-technology areas of bioinformatics, biotechnology, materials technology, ceramics, polymers, and electronic materials. The Stevens program prepares you for employment with companies in these industries, and for graduate programs in chemistry or biochemistry.

The program is based on a solid foundation in the major areas of chemistry and biochemistry. Additional courses in advanced chemistry are available in those areas in which Stevens has unique strengths, such as polymer chemistry, natural products, medicinal chemistry, biochemistry, computational chemistry, and instrumental analysis. Research is strongly encouraged due to its importance in preparing for a career in chemistry; it also helps develop independence in solving open-ended problems.

The Stevens chemistry program is certified by the American Chemical Society (ACS).

Chemical Biology

Chemical biology is the application of chemistry to the understanding and utilization of biological phenomena. Chemical biology includes genetic engineering, the design and modification of genetic material, and molecular biology.

The scientific approach to understanding living systems ultimately leads to the cell - the basis of all living systems. Modern biology focuses on how cells originate, differentiate, multiply, and function, with emphasis on their molecular components, their chemical and physical properties, and their interaction.

It is an exciting field at the very core of biotechnology. Today's biology laboratory is equipped with sophisticated instrumentation to stimulate muscle tissue and measure action potentials; to determine the size, shape, and electrical charge of protein molecules; and to follow reactions within the cell. Biologists can study biological phenomena under controlled conditions to explore the mechanisms governing growth, differentiation, behavior, evolution, and aging-knowledge that provides a foundation for modern medicine. The field of medicine relies heavily on modern biology.

The Stevens program in chemical biology provides excellent preparation for the student to pursue a career in medicine, and satisfies requirements for admission to professional schools of medicine, dentistry, and veterinary medicine. Our program features the study of cell and molecular biology, molecular genetics, physiology, biochemistry, biophysical chemistry, organic and physical chemistry, and instrumental analysis. Equipped with this rigorous background - and here is where the Stevens chemical biology program differs from traditional biology and pre-medicine programs - our graduates also find employment in industrial research and pathology laboratories. Many continue their studies at the graduate level in the biological sciences, biochemistry, chemistry, or biophysics.  In fact, Stevens pioneered this field with the first undergraduate program in Chemical Biology in the late 1970s.

The chemical biology program is certified by the American Chemical Society (ACS) option - biochemistry.

Accelerated Chemical Biology Program

If you are pursuing the special combined degree program in medicine or dentistry, you are enrolled in the Accelerated Chemical Biology Program. A heavy course load is required during the three years of the program at Stevens, and completion of the B.S. degree requirements relies on transfer credit from the first year of study at the affiliated medical/dental school. Thus, enrolling in the Accelerated Chemical Biology Program is restricted to students admitted to these special programs.

Biomedical Engineering

A Biomedical Engineer works at the interface between physical and biological systems. A distinguishing feature of biomedical engineers is that they design instruments and devices that interact with or make measurements on living systems. These systems can be as small as a protein, gene, or cell, as complex as an organ such as the heart and lungs or as integrated as the heart lungs and muscles during exercise. The ultimate goal is to help improve medical diagnosis and treatment and to improve the quality of life for people who are incapacitated.

The biomedical engineering field is truly multidisciplinary. Biomedical engineers must understand not only basic engineering principles but also the biology and physiology of cells, organs and systems that work together to create a functioning human being. In addition, the biomedical engineer must have some in-depth experience in applying engineering concepts to living systems. Biomedical Engineers are engaged in designing and manufacturing prostheses (replacement hips, knees, tendons, arms, legs, etc.), total artificial hearts as well as left ventricular assist devices, pacemakers and defibrillators, Imaging devices such as CAT scans, MRI, f-MRI, ultrasound, and nuclear medicine imaging (PET,SPECT), replacement organs (artificial pancreas, ears, retina, etc.), in-patient monitoring devices (blood pressure, sleep apnea, EKG, etc.), in addition to more standard medical devices such as portable EKG and pulmonary function machines for use in physicians offices. Biomedical Engineers also engage in cutting edge research on living systems and contribute important new knowledge to the field.

The Biomedical Engineering program at Stevens is based on a solid foundation in basic science, math, biology and engineering fundamentals. In addition, program specific courses in Transport in Biosystems, Engineering Physiology, Biomechanics, Biomaterials, Medical Imaging and Instrumentation, Biosystems Simulation and Control and Bioethics are included to provide the multidisciplinary background for a modern Biomedical Engineer. The Transport, Physiology, Biomaterials, Imaging and Simulation courses contain laboratories to provide extensive hands-on experience. Since tomorrow’s biomedical devices will have to be smarter, smaller and, in many cases wireless, a course in wireless technology is included in the design sequence (Design VI). The program is design oriented and culminates in a group capstone senior design project that spans the 6th – 8th semesters.  The group carries out a comprehensive design of a biomedical device which includes an economic analysis, engineering computations and drawings, a plan for manufacture and the delivery of a working prototype of the device or a major component of the device. The emphasis in the design sequence is on teamwork, presentation skills and an entrepreneurial approach to design and manufacture.  The program also provides for the flexibility of applying to medical school. The courses required to take the MCAT exam are normally completed by the end of the junior year.

Biomedical Engineering Program Mission and Objectives

The Stevens biomedical engineering program produces graduates who possess a broad foundation in engineering and liberal arts, combined with a depth of disciplinary knowledge at the interface of engineering and biology. This knowledge is mandatory for success in a biomedical engineering career. Biomedical engineering is also an enabling step for a career in medicine, dentistry, business or law.


The objectives of the biomedical engineering program are to prepare students to:

  • Obtain employment and succeed in careers with companies and government organizations in the biomedical field, such as those in the areas of implant and device design and manufacturing, biomaterials, medical instrumentation, medical imaging, healthcare, oversight, and research;

  • Utilize their broad-based education to define and solve complex problems, particularly those related to design, in the biomedical engineering field and effectively communicate the results;

  • Understand and take responsibility for social, ethical, and economic factors related to biomedical engineering and its application;

  • Function effectively on and provide leadership to multidisciplinary teams;

  • Demonstrate a facility to seek and use knowledge as the foundation for lifelong learning; and

  • Be prepared for successful advanced study in biomedical engineering or entry to graduate professional programs such as medicine, dentistry, business, or law.

Our biomedical engineering graduates are employed in medical device design and manufacturing, startup biotech companies, pharmaceutical/biologics research, medical research laboratories and government regulatory agencies. Our graduates also attend graduate schools with international reputations in biomedical engineering. Some of our graduates attend medical, management, and law schools.

Bioinformatics

Huge amounts of data are being generated by the new and powerful techniques for determining the structures of biological molecules and manipulating biomolecular sequences. Bioinformatics makes use of mathematical and computer science techniques to process the information that is pouring out of laboratories so it can be used for further scientific advances. The Stevens Bioinformatics Program is built on the foundations of chemical biology. After the first two years in the Chemical Biology Program, the Bioinformatics student begins replacing certain electives with mathematics and computer science courses, provided that CS 115 is taken in the freshman year.

To top
Bioanalytic Chemistry

The extreme complexity - and fragility - of biological molecules has made it necessary to develop special techniques and instrumentation for their detection and analysis. These methods were employed in the Human Genome Project, and have become vital in drug development efforts and in the field called Chemical Ecology. The bioanalytical chemist is a valued scientist in medical and biomedical research and in the pharmaceutical, flavors, and fragrances industries.The program in Bioanalytical Chemistry is built on the foundations of Chemical Biology. After the first two years in the regular Chemical Biology Program, the Bioanalytical Chemistry student begins concentrating on special techniques such as mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance, and separations.

The Third and Fourth Years of the program are shown here.

Graduate Programs

 

Graduate study in the Department of Chemistry, Chemical Biology, and Biomedical Engineering offers research opportunities of great variety and scope. It offers, too, an unusual receptivity to different kinds of research interests, from the most immediate and practical to the highly theoretical.

The Department includes faculty and programs in chemistry, chemical biology, and the emerging field of biomedical engineering.  Faculty and students share instruments and collaborate on joint educational and research programs. The close proximity of these disciplines encourages cooperation and provides access to equipment and expertise not usually available within a single department.

The Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees are offered in chemistry or chemical biology with concentrations in physical chemistry, organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, polymer chemistry, chemical biology, and bioinformatics. Admission to the graduate program in chemistry requires an undergraduate education in chemistry. Admission to the chemical biology program requires either an undergraduate degree in chemistry with strong biology background or an undergraduate degree in biology with strong chemistry background.

The Master of Engineering and Doctor of Philosophy degrees are offered in biomedical engineering.  Admission to these programs requires a bachelor’s degree in engineering, although applicants with other degrees and relevant engineering experience may be considered.  Such students may be required to complete prerequisites during their enrollment in the program.

Polymer synthesis and characterization, methods of instrumental analysis, medicinal chemistry and structural chemistry (theoretical as well as experimental) are areas of chemistry in which the department has attained international recognition. Research in chemical biology focuses on protein trafficking through membranes, soil microbiology, drug encapsulation and dosing and proteomics.

The department is housed in a modern building with well-equipped laboratories for tissue-culture work, protein separation and analysis and small animal studies. State-of-the-art instrumentation is also available, including confocal microscopy, PCR, radio-isotope labeling, fluorometry, double-beam spectrophotometry, Fourier-transform infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance and high performance liquid chromatography, thermal analysis and electron tunneling microscopy.

The department is the home for the Center for Mass Spectrometry - one of the best equipped mass spectrometry laboratories anywhere. Included are Electrospray, MALDI, GC/LC MS and other new techniques used in pioneering research in chemistry and biology.

Periodically, the department invites a preeminent scientist for a sequence of informal talks and formal lectures. Previous lecturers have included Kenneth Pitzer and Herman Mark and the Nobelists William Lipscomb, Sir Derek Barton, Ilya Prigogine, Arthur Kornberg, Rosalyn Yalow, Sidney Altman and George Palade. Periodically, The Stivala Lectures in Chemistry invites an outstanding scientist for a day of lectures and discussions on timely topics in chemistry. Dr. James Cooper, M.D., established this lecture series in memory of his father Charles Cooper, who was a close friend of Professor Salvatore Stivala, a professor of chemistry and chemical engineering at Stevens.

Awareness of recent developments in one's field is an important component of professional development. Therefore, attendance at seminars is required of all graduate students enrolled full-time in degree programs, and all doctoral students. Finally, a measure of the success of a student's education is the ability to carry out original research. Either a thesis or a special research problem should be part of the Master's program, unless evidence is presented that the student is already engaged in research outside of Stevens. Furthermore, students completing a Masters' thesis are required to present their results in a departmental seminar. The Ph.D. dissertation, of course, forms the major part of all doctoral programs.

The department believes the vitality of an academic community depends on interaction among its members, and that teaching and learning are essential activities for professors and students alike.

Master’s Programs

Thirty graduate credits in an approved plan of study, that includes the following core courses, are required for the Master of Science degree. Areas of concentration include analytical chemistry, chemical biology, organic chemistry, physical chemistry and polymer chemistry, and others can be designed. Research may be included in master's degree programs, either as a Special Research Problem (CH 800) or a Master's Thesis (CH 900), and is counted towards the 30 credits required for the degree. All fellows and teaching or research assistants are expected to complete a thesis.

Master of Engineering - Biomedical and PhD

Success in the field of medical technologies requires a highly interdisciplinary approach. A symbiotic relationship between these four discrete areas must be struck: clinical, industry, patient, and device. Failure to satisfy the requirements and expectations in any one area could prohibit the acceptance of a product or therapy. Certainly, the best and most elegant solutions will satisfy the requirements and expectations of each of the areas.

The core of the Stevens Biomedical Engineering program is distinguished by its consideration of these areas as an integrated system, each area representing a group of critical components required in order for the system to operate. Many other programs fail to consider all four of these components or fail to integrate them comprehensively.

The Stevens BME program allows for study in one of three avenues: advanced interdisciplinary biomedical engineering research, advanced training in biomedical engineering for engineers with an undergraduate degree in another discipline, or as a minor concentration for graduate engineers in other disciplines. In addition, the research avenue can lead directly into a Ph.D. program.

To top
Doctoral Programs in Chemistry and in Chemical Biology

Admission to the doctoral program is based on 1) GRE score and 2) reasonable evidence that the student will prove capable of specialization on a broad intellectual foundation. Specifically, students will be admitted to the doctoral program only if the Admissions Committee feels that he/she is reasonably well-prepared for the Qualifying Examinations in Chemistry or Chemical Biology, which must be passed within a 10-month period after acquiring 30 graduate credits. Applicants with good academic records who lack this level of preparation may be admitted initially to the M.S. program.

A student enrolled in the master’s program in Chemistry or Chemical Biology must request admission to the doctoral program through the department’s Admissions Committee. Continuation in the doctoral program is contingent on passing the Qualifying Examinations, Preliminary Examination, and meeting all other requirements.
