About the program

Those who study such pathways and understand those reactions hold the key to providing solutions for some of our biggest questions – Why do we age and can that process be decelerated? What causes Alzheimer’s? Can the metastasizing of cancer be blocked?

One of the fastest growing scientific disciplines is also one of the youngest – biochemistry. Biochemistry is the application of atomic and molecular principles to the function of life processes. Biochemistry is the science that studies the molecular basis for the processes that take place in all living organisms-plant, animal or human.

Training in biochemistry at the undergraduate level positions students well for careers in biotechnology, pharmaceutical development, government laboratories, and is very appropriate as a pre-professional course of study.
