Apply your chemistry knowledge and skills to address real-world biological problems.
From medicine, toxicology, pharmaceutical research, many of the world's most pressing future problems will involve biological systems but require chemical or biochemical strategies to solve. The Biochemistry program is ideal for students interested in examining the chemical aspects of living things and the chemical processes that support biological life.
Course labs and research projects will give you hands-on experiences with modern methods of biochemical study including gene expression, protein purification (chromatography and electrophoresis) and characterization, enzyme kinetics, and polymerase chain reaction, and more. This broad and deep program of study will prepare you for a future career in biochemistry, whether you proceed to medical school, graduate school or directly into industry.
