This first section of the history of the Department of Biochemistry covers the period from the late nineteenth century until the opening of the Sir William Dunn Institute, now known as the Hopkins Building, in 1924.
The Department's buildings are currently open for wet laboratory work only. We have carried out a comprehensive COVID-19 risk assessment process and have introduced a number of new measures to ensure the safety of our staff, including reduced building occupancy, strict social distancing, 'family'-based working, and increased cleaning and hygiene regimes. All staff who can work remotely will do so for the foreseeable future. Please continue to contact us by email until further notice.
