The BMB Seminar series features presentations by students in the Senior Seminar course. Current students are actively conducting research with BMB faculty and will showcase their research experiences and findings at these Tuesday seminars.
Fall 2025 Schedule Coming in August
We have wrapped up our BMB seminar series for the spring semester. We will update the fall 2025 schedule in August so stay tuned!
The Gottwald Center for the Sciences is the home of the biology, chemistry and physics departments.
With 22 teaching laboratories and 50 student-faculty research laboratories, the space includes lab facilities for organic chemistry, biochemistry and neuroscience; a quantitative science center; a nuclear magnetic resonance center; and a digital biological imaging center.
In the latest episode, Julie Pollock, associate professor of the chemistry, and colleagues from other institutions test which method is best — deep fry, air fry, or pan fry. Dr. Pollock leads a lab that studies breast cancer and inflammatory disease development and progression.
"Chemists in the Kitchen" is a YouTube series by the National Academy of Science that follows a rotating cast of chemists who cook, experiment, and tinker with all types of recipes and ingredients.
Dr. Pollock was also featured on the Quick Pickles and Fermentation episode.
Omar Quintero-Carmona, associate professor of biology, and John Warrick, associate professor of biology published "Transcriptomic Analysis of CAD Cell Differentiation" in MicroPublication Biology, along with students Lillie Wendt '26, Carlos Cevallos, '17, Anna Leigh White, '20, Brooke Fazio, '21 and GC '22, Jasmine Feng, '20, and Dora Posfai, '13.
John Peters, a biology professor at the University of Richmond, has received a $502,981 National Science Foundation award to support his neuroscience research on the mechanisms of learning and memory.
University of Richmond is ranked No. 5 in the top small schools’ category among Peace Corps’ 2025 Top Volunteer-Producing Colleges and Universities list.
