Bachelor of Science - Biochemistry (Optional Co-op)

Biochemists seek explanations for the molecular basis of life. They are primarily interested in the relationship of molecular structure with function, but modern Biochemistry now covers a broad range of approaches to fundamental questions and practical problems.

Biochemistry merges biology and chemistry and covers some of the most exciting areas of the life sciences. Modern biochemical research includes structural biology, proteomics, genomics, epigenetics, signal transduction, gene expression and development, metabolic diseases, bioinformatics, and molecular evolution.

Students study the latest developments in biochemistry. They uncover explanations of the molecular basis of life. They learn technical skills in lab courses and enter the world of biochem through the co-op and career program. Students can even conduct their own research under the guidance of a faculty member.
