Biochemistry

Biochemistry is the study of processes associated with living cells at the molecular level. A sophisticated knowledge of biochemistry is central to many challenges of today, from biotechnology and genetic engineering to cancer research, drug design, and forensic science. Our program provides practical laboratory training in biochemistry, molecular biology, and microbiology, as well as opportunities to carry out exciting research projects with faculty members. Our faculty are internationally recognized for their cutting-edge research in areas such as biomembranes and the biochemistry of cancer, and have won provincial and national awards for the quality of their teaching. Students choosing the Co-op program will complete their degree in five years.Career opportunities may exist in forensic science, cancer research, biotechnology, biomedical research, pharmaceutical science, and the food and beverage industry.
