Lauren Wickstrom, a computational biophysicist, received her B.A. in Chemistry from Stony Brook University, a M.A. in Chemistry from CUNY Queens College and a PhD in Biochemistry and Structural Biology from Stony Brook University. Before joining BMCC, she taught at CUNY Lehman College. Her research involves the application of computational methods to biological problems involving protein stability and dynamics and biomolecular recognition.
Expertise
Chemistry
Degrees
- B.A. Stony Brook University, Chemistry,2000
- Ph.D. Stony Brook University, Biochemistry and Structural Biology,2009
Courses Taught
- This course is a two-semester course sequence that introduces principles and concepts of general, organic and biological chemistry. The laboratory will provide experimental applications of these chemical topics. They are liberal arts electives. They are recommended for students intending to transfer to bachelor's degree Allied Health Science curricula. CHE 121-122 cannot be granted credit to fulfill degree requirements for Science (A.S.) and Engineering Science (A.S.).
Students intending to apply for admission to programs such as Dentistry, Exercise Physiology, Medical Laboratory Science, Medicine, Pharmacy, Physician Assistant, Physical Therapy, or Veterinary Medicine need to enroll in CHE 201 instead of CHE 121 to meet admission or curricula requirements for these programs.
Students intending to apply for admission to programs such as Diagnostic Medical Imaging (Sonography}, Exercise Science, Public Health, Radiology, or X-ray technician need to determine whether admission or curricula requirements for these programs require CHE 121 or CHE 201.
Course Syllabus - This is a two-semester course sequence that involves the study of chemical principles including atomic and molecular theories, molecular structure, and reactivity. The laboratory will include experiments illustrating the chemical principles. CHE 201-202 two terms required. Required in A.S. (Science) and A.S. (Engineering Science). Fulfills science requirement for A.A. (Liberal Arts).
Prerequisite for CHE 202 is CHE 201
