生物化学理学学士[一般]

21世纪的生物化学将继续发掘生命的生物化学基础。生物化学方面的新兴知识将有助于弄清癌症和高血压等疾病的分子基础，进而导致开发新的疾病检测工具以及治疗和治愈新疗法。生物化学家将化学，数学，物理学和生物学的基本原理应用于细胞过程的研究，因此，这些学科的良好基础是该计划的组成部分。皇后区的生物化学提供了各种各样的主题，从分子遗传学和结构生物学到酶，激素和维生素的功能基础。这些生物化学课程结合了对特定生物体以及肌肉骨骼和心血管等器官系统的理解。
Biochemistry is the branch of science that explores the structures and chemical processes of molecules in living organisms that interact to form cells, tissues and whole organisms. The Biochemistry program at Queen's provides students with in-depth training in a wide range of important topics that are related to these processes, including the mechanisms of cancer progression, cellular communication, and the molecular and chemical basis of infection, inheritance and disease. The program also offers opportunities for students to explore rapidly expanding fields in molecular genetics, metabolism of biomolecules, bioengineering and regenerative medicine through hands-on training with professors in research labs. This program provides students with in-depth training needed to prepare them for entry into graduate programs, industry, and careers in the biomedical sciences.<br><br>The first year of the program provides vital background preparation in Chemistry (organic, analytical and physical), Molecular Biology, and Statistical Analysis, to understand the molecules that make up all living things. In the upper years of the program students receive in-depth exposure to all areas of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, including extensive hands-on laboratory experiences. The Biochemistry program has enough flexibility for students to take elective courses offered in other programs within the Faculty of Arts and Science, including the Life Sciences program, for which they are eligible.
