About the course

Biochemistry may not give you the answers to the meaning of life, but it can tell you how life works. As a biochemist, you will study the chemical processes that occur within the cells of living organisms. You could use your knowledge of cellular processes and molecular inheritance to combat disease, engineer pest-resistant crops, or develop microorganisms to clean up oil spills.

　　Our state-of-the-art labs and equipment include the Biomolecular Function, Interactions and Structure facility (BIOFINS) which houses a collection of instruments that is unique in Eastern Canada. Small class sizes foster strong student?professor relationships, and our teaching labs introduce you to the techniques used in the field. You will also:

　　Study the role of proteins, carbohydrates and lipids in cellular processes

　　Examine biochemical responses to toxic compounds in the environment

　　Receive extensive training in research methodology Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
