Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry

Laurentian University

Make a difference in medical research, genetic engineering, forensics and many other fields with a biochemistry degree. Biochemistry is the science that covers the chemical processes of living things, allowing us to learn more about our bodies and the living organisms around us. Biochemists work in a variety of areas, often conducting research on DNA, cell molecules, or developing safe drugs for society. They can also assist in forensic cases and with agricultural methods. As a student in the Biochemistry program at Laurentian University, you’ll gain a comprehensive understanding of the structure and properties of the molecules found in living organisms. In the first two years of the program, you’ll acquire a strong foundation in the basic principles of Biology and Chemistry. You will then use this knowledge in the final two years to gain a deep understanding of subjects such as the molecular basis of diseases, cell metabolism, molecular biology, enzymology, genetic engineering and immunology.
