Welcome to the Program in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry (MBBC) at Middlebury College.

We are a community of students and faculty with a common interest in a multidisciplinary approach to examining life at the macromolecular and cellular levels. The purpose of our program is to serve the students and faculty of Middlebury College by providing excellence in molecular biology education within a residential liberal arts setting. Molecular biology is a field that studies the flow and regulation of genetic information contained in DNA to its expression in the development and function of cells. In these pages you will find information about our courses and research, our students and faculty, our history, our facilities, and our special events.
