生物工程理学学士-生物分子工程

生物分子工程学专为那些对蛋白质工程，干细胞工程和合成生物学感兴趣的学生而设计。重点是对生物分子（主要是DNA，RNA和蛋白质）进行工程改造或进行生物工程改造以及包括干细胞工程在内的细胞工程。学生需要生物化学，细胞生物学和分子生物学方面的全面背景，以及足够的生物信息学知识以有效地使用DNA和蛋白质数据库。轻轻触摸其他主题，主要是提供广度。完成生物分子浓度的学生还将完成生物信息学辅修课程。尽管目前可以接受较低级别的Physics 6系列课程，但我们将继续建议学生参加Physics 5系列课程。物理6主要是为了
The biomolecular engineering concentration is designed for students interested in protein engineering, stem cell engineering, and synthetic biology. The emphasis is on engineering of or with biomolecules (mainly DNA, RNA, and proteins) and cellular engineering, including stem cell engineering. Students need a thorough background in biochemistry, cell biology, and molecular biology, as well as enough bioinformatics to use DNA and protein databases effectively. Other subjects are touched on lightly, mainly to provide breadth. Students completing the biomolecular concentration also complete a bioinformatics minor. Although the lower-level Physics 6 series is currently acceptable for this concentration, we will continue advising that students take the Physics 5 series. Physics 6 is permitted primarily to allow easier transfer from the MCD Biology major, where students are not expected to take Physics 5. Students choosing this concentration should start with chemistry courses, as the biochemistry course is prerequisite to many upper-division courses and has a long pre-requisite chain.
