生物化学理学学士

生物化学专业为学生提供了生物学，物理和数学科学方面强大而均衡的背景。作为生物化学专业，研究包括大分子结构和功能，细胞生物化学，代谢，基因表达，DNA和蛋白质结构，DNA复制和修复，细胞组织，交流，生长，衰老和死亡。还要求学生修读物理，有机化学，统计测量和研究方法等课程。独立学习和实习（通常在初中和高年级，但可能在新生一年开始）为体验式学习和与教师紧密合作提供了机会，有时会导致原创出版物的撰写。
Biochemistry is fundamental and essential to the life sciences, especially the health professions, and is one of the frontier areas for the physical sciences and engineering. As a discipline, biochemistry and molecular biology evolved from the application of the principles of organic and physical chemistry to the characterization of the metabolites and macromolecules that are found throughout the biological world. This approach has led to an understanding of the structural components of cells, of metabolic and regulatory processes, of the mechanism of enzymatic catalysis, and energy transduction and of the molecular events associated with gene expression and cellular replication. The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology has developed faculty expertise and the supporting resource facilities to instruct students in three major areas of biochemistry and molecular biology: the structure and function of macromolecules, cellular biochemistry, and molecular gene expression. Such training develops the skills necessary to pursue careers in biological and biomedical research or in biotechnology.
