The first reference to the Department of Biochemistry in the Dalhousie University calendars is in 1958-1959, where Dr. J.A. McCarter is identified as the Head of the Department. In previous calendars (since 1924), Biochemistry is listed as a subdivision of courses offered by the Faculty of Medicine, but there was no indication that it was organized as a department. The department is currently called the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
