Our department has strong ties to the BC Cancer Agency Deeley Research Centre. The courses we have suggested in this area would give you a great background to carry on in this field as a graduate student. Biochemists seek explanations for the molecular basis of life. They are primarily interested in the relationship of molecular structure with function, but modern Biochemistry now covers a broad range of approaches to fundamental questions and practical problems. Biochemistry merges biology and chemistry and covers some of the most exciting areas of the life sciences. Modern biochemical research includes structural biology, proteomics, genomics, epigenetics, signal transduction, gene expression and development, metabolic diseases, bioinformatics, and molecular evolution.<br>Careers<br>Health-care professional, Biotechnologist, Pharmacologist, Industrial chemist, Research and development professional
