生物化学理学学士-化学

生物化学家研究生命的化学基础。一些主要问题包括遗传信息向生物结构的转移，营养物质向细胞成分的转化以及它们作为能量来源的利用，记忆的存储以及神经过程的化学性质。此外，生物化学家对重要过程的化学细节感兴趣，例如光合作用，血液凝结，受精以及某些生物可能特有的其他功能。该计划包括六个学分的广泛领域的本科生研究，包括药物发现，纳米医学，蛋白质结构确定，新型化学工具的开发和应用，以剖析不同的生物过程。通过集中学习生物化学方面的高级选修课时并修读生物学课程，该学位为医学，牙科或兽医学校提供了极好的准备。该计划将特别有益
Biochemists study the chemical basis of life. Some of the major problems include the transfer of genetic information to biological structures, the conversion of nutrients into cell constituents and their utilization as sources of energy, the storage of memory, and the chemical nature of neural processes. Furthermore, biochemists are interested in the chemical details of important processes such as photosynthesis, blood clotting, fertilization, and other functions that may be unique to certain organisms. This program includes five credits of undergraduate research in a wide range of fields, including drug discovery, nano-medicine, protein structure determination, development and application of novel chemical tools to dissect different biological processes.<br><br>By concentrating advanced elective credit hours in biochemistry and by taking biology courses, this degree provides an excellent preparation for medical, dental, or veterinary schools. This program would particularly benefit those planning careers in medical research.
