| Description | Biochemistry is the chemistry of living systems. It explores human and ecosystem health using knowledge and tools from biology and chemistry. Study how animals, plants and microorganisms use molecules to grow, communicate and compete with other organisms and reproduce. Develop a deep understanding of the molecular basis of life by investigating enzyme reactions, mechanisms of gene regulation, signalling pathways and cell structure. Learn how biochemistry is used in sustainable agriculture, in addressing environmental concerns and biomedical treatment. Our experiential learning opportunities provide excellent training options for entry into medicine and other health-related professional programs. A specialized program in Biochemistry and Biotechnology is also available.
Your career: agricultural research and development; dentistry; environmental toxicology consulting; human and veterinary medicine; medical research biotechnology; patent application and review; pharmaceutical sciences; regulatory toxicology | | |
