^ I don’t think that is really the way to go. Undergraduate schools that produce the most future pHDs in biochemistry says nothing about the education quality, faculty research productivity, or abundance (or lack there of) undergraduate research internships/opportunities of those schools at the undergraduate level.

The question is, does producing more future pHDs mean that its has a good program in biochemistry? The only thing that can be inferred is that those schools attract people who have a greater tendency to pursue higher degrees of education. It doesn’t say much about the quality of the undergraduate program.
