Considerable knowledge of molecular mechanisms in biological and                environmental phenomena has been recently incorporated into the St.             Vincent College curricula in biology and chemistry.  Several new                laboratory exercises have been introduced in each of the advanced               biology and chemistry courses in which molecular mechanisms play a              central role (e.g. Cell Biology, Genetics, Ecology, Instrumental                Analysis).  New techniques include methods of purification (e.g. high           speed centrifugation and column chromatography) and methods of analysis         (e.g. absorption spectroscopy). The addition of the appropriate                 instrumentation for purification and analysis allows all science                students to have direct experience with the equipment commonly used in          molecular studies, and better prepares them for graduate studies and            professional work in the health and environmental sciences.
