生物化学与分子生物学理学学士

生物化学和分子生物学专业的生物化学选修课（BIOCH）专注于对生物的研究，重点是生物分子结构和功能的化学和物理。在这种选择下，在分子水平上研究生命的方法是高度定量的，因此扎实的数学背景非常重要。毫不奇怪，该选项要求该部门提供的任何专业中化学和物理领域的基础最广泛。该专业的高级课程选修课程包括分子遗传学，高级细胞生物学，免疫学，病毒学，分子医学，生理生化以及物理化学实验室课程。使用该选项的学生也几乎可以满足化学辅修课程的要求。该专业为研究生和专业学校提供了很好的准备，毕业生受到行业的高度追捧。生物化学和分子
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is the study of the molecular basis of life. Biochemistry uses the principles of chemistry and physics to understand biological molecules, structures, and reactions. Molecular biology focuses on how biological molecules interact to form cells, organisms, and behaviors.<br><br>Students in this major apply basic principles of chemistry and physics to the study of living cells and their components to explain biology at molecular, genetic, and cellular levels. Students will develop a strong foundation in quantitative and analytical biological sciences, including molecular biology, biochemistry, enzymology, metabolism, cell biology, and molecular genetics.<br>The Biochemistry Option (BIOCH) of the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology major focuses on the study of living things with a strong emphasis on the chemistry and physics of biomolecular structure and function. In this option, the approach to the study of life at the molecular level is highly quantitative, so a strong background in mathematics is important. Not surprisingly, this option requires the most extensive foundation in chemistry and physics of any of the majors offered by the department. Advanced course electives in the major include molecular genetics, advanced cell biology, immunology, virology, molecular medicine, physiological biochemistry, and laboratory courses in physical chemistry. Students in this option also come close to fulfilling the requirements for a minor in chemistry. The major provides excellent preparation for graduate and professional schools, and graduates are highly sought by industry.
