Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry
Did you ever wonder how Tylenol works to dull a headache or what really happens to the nutrients in your food once you eat it? Do you want to learn how to design new medicines or understand how environmental pollutants can impact human health? If so, then a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry with a Biochemistry concentration might be the right program for you.
Life ultimately boils down to a series of chemical reactions. Biochemistry is a scientific field that focuses on the chemical processes occurring at cellular and molecular levels. The field combines chemistry and biology for examining chemical reactions and chemical structures in living organisms, with an aim of understanding function and, where possible, to use such information to exert influence over these functions.
This type of information could be used to understand the molecular mechanism of various diseases and/or health inequalities, to develop new vaccines and medical treatments, to genetically engineer crops to withstand changing climate conditions, or to produce sustainable fuels using biological reactions – just to name a few examples.
