Apply your chemistry knowledge and skills to address real-world biological problems.
From medicine and toxicology to pharmaceutical research, many of the world’s most urgent challenges center on biological systems—and solving them will require chemical and biochemical approaches. The Biochemistry program is designed for students eager to explore the chemical foundations of life and the molecular processes that sustain it.
Examine the intricacies of life at the molecular level through a faith-informed lens. You’ll gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge biochemical techniques such as gene expression analysis, protein purification and characterization (using chromatography and electrophoresis), enzyme kinetics, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
This comprehensive and rigorous curriculum prepares you for a successful future in biochemistry—whether you pursue medical school, graduate studies, or enter the industry—while equipping you to integrate your scientific knowledge with your Christian faith.
