Instruction in bioanalytical chemistry

Teaching analytical chemistry from a biological point of view helps to capture student interest and can make the course feel more relevant. At the undergraduate level, bioanalysis can be introduced into traditional analytical chemistry courses by judicious use of biochemically relevant examples. Many universities also offer graduate courses in bio-analytical chemistry, either as core courses or as special topic courses. Graduate courses are also more likely to forgo use of a text and rely on the primary research literature as a supplement for material covered in lecture.
