About the course

Biochemistry is the study of chemical processes associated with living organisms. Biochemists use concepts of biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, microbiology and genetics to unravel the complex puzzles of life. Many of our undergraduates become involved in research through the Memorial University Career Experience Program (MUCEP), Student Undergraduate Research Award (SURA) and other summer research programs. Undergraduates carry out research in areas such as, but not limited to, development of sea urchins and zebrafish, muscle biochemistry, lipid composition and molecular dynamics. In addition to the major and honours options in biochemistry, joint programs are offered in: behavioural neuroscience/biochemistry (B.Sc. honours), biochemistry and cell biology/microbiology (B.Sc. honours), biochemistry/chemistry (B.Sc. honours), biochemistry/physics (B.Sc. honours).
