IOCHEMISTRY The Department of Bio- chemistry faces an increasingly more diffi- cult problem each year. It must present to the student all the fundamentals of one of the sciences so vital to his medical education while, at the same time, increase the scope of its pro- gram to include the rapid, daily developments in the field. To accomplish this end, each facet of biochemistry is presented in lecture form by an instructor who has done or is doing research in that particular field. Each lecture series is correlated with laboratory experiments intended to enable the student to better grasp the subject. The experiments are designed to illustrate the practical applications of biochemical prin- ciples to clinical medicine. The advantages of the new techniques, such as spectrophotometry and isotope label- ling, in establishing a diagnosis become obvious. Imme- diate benefit is derived from arriving on the wards with some knowledge of the meaning of the basic blood and urine diagnostic tests. As clinical medicine and medical research more closely approach the molecular level, the importance of a firm foundation in biochemical principles becomes in- creasingly evident. The Department of Biochemistry is devoted to the task of instilling this foundation in the physician who graduates from the New jersey College of Medicine. ,gf ,f .. Q Q C RAYMOND L. GARNER, Ph.D., is Professor and Chairman of the Department of Biochemistry. He grad- uated from Westminster College in 1927 and received his Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins Medical School in 1932. He was a Fellow at Johns Hopkins from 1932 to 1935. Dr. Garner then served on the faculty of the University of Michigan Medical School until 1956 when he came to our institution. In addition to his departmental work, until last year he served as Chairman of the Admissions Committee and since then he has been appointed Assist- ant Dean of the School of Dentistry. Dr. Garner's research interests revolve primarily about the biochemistry of carbohydrates and leukocyte metabolism. He also derives particular personal satis- faction from his work with the blind.

GEORGE KALF, Ph.D., is Associate Professor in the Department of Biochemistry. He received his Bachelor of Science degree from Upsala College in 1952, his Master of Science from Pennsylvania State University in 1954, and his doctorate from Yale University in 1957. Dr. Kalf came to the New jersey College of Medicine in 1960. One is quick to note the drive of this prolific young man. He already has numerous publications to his credit, most of which deal with enzymatic studies and protein synthesis.
