In addition to primary faculty, the department of biological chemistry is comprised of faculty from various departments throughout Johns Hopkins. Faculty who hold a secondary appointment in the department add yet another layer to the intellectual environment, scientifically and socially. Together, we continue to make significant contributions to our success. The inclusion of secondary faculty into our department further illustrates our commitment to diversity of scientific approach and the broad interest at Ho pkins in our departmental endeavors.
