Biochemistry - STEM

By mastering the key principles of biochemistry, you’ll be prepared to contribute to the expanding understanding of human health, disease, and the cutting-edge technologies advancing disease detection and treatment. Whether you plan to pursue medical, dental, or graduate school, or start your career immediately after graduation, a biochemistry degree from UB will give you a strong edge in your future endeavors.

In the first two years, you'll take essential courses in subjects like cell biology, organic chemistry, calculus, and physics to build a strong academic foundation. Once you enter your junior year, you’ll explore biochemistry in greater depth, including research opportunities, as you study topics like genetics, metabolism, and the molecular functions of cells. While there are required courses, you’ll also have the flexibility to choose electives in areas such as anatomy, drug discovery, and neurobiology.

This program is part of UB’s medical school, providing students with access to experienced faculty, state-of-the-art research labs, and valuable opportunities through UB's affiliated hospitals and clinics.
