理学学士-生物化学与分子生物学

从最小的细菌到最大的鲸鱼，生物化学家和分子生物学家都对所有生物的分子功能感兴趣。在本专业中，您将研究分子的组织方式以及它们如何相互作用以实现活细胞和生物体的功能。您的研究涵盖三个主要领域：DNA中存储的信息，分子相互作用以及生物如何获取和利用能量。它提供有关进化，生长，发育，繁殖和疾病的机制的见解，并提供改善我们生活质量的工具。这可能是通过开发抗药性或抗旱性作物植物或了解控制个人健康的因素。在本专业的最后，您将能够展示对生物化学和分子生物学的理论基础的深入理解。您将能够展示批判性分析以及将科学方法应用于生
The Biochemistry and Molecular Biology major investigates how the natural world works. You'll gain an insight into the mechanisms of evolution, growth, development, reproduction and disease, plus tools to improve our quality of life. As well as careers in academic, medical and agricultural research, graduates with a major in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology are equipped for careers in patent law, scientific equipment sales, management of clinical trials, forensic science and many others. <br><br>Biochemists and molecular biologists are interested in the molecular functions of all living organisms, from the smallest bacterium to the largest whale. In this major, you'll study the way molecules are organised and how they interact to achieve the functions of the living cell and that of the organism. Your investigations consider the information stored in DNA, molecular interactions, and how organisms gain and use energy. The major provides insights into the mechanisms of evolution, growth, development, reproduction and disease, plus the tools to improve our quality of life. This may be through the development of a drug or drought-resistant crop plant or understanding what controls an individual's health. At the end of the major you'll understand the theoretical basis of biochemistry and molecular biology and demonstrate critical analysis and the application of scientific method to biochemical problems. You will have solid technical competency in basic laboratory skills including solution preparation, qualitative and quantitative analytical methods, and operation of general laboratory equipment. As well as careers in academic, medical and agricultural research, graduates with a major in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology are equipped for careers in patent law, scientific equipment sales, management of clinical trials, forensic science and many others.
