Honors Specialization In Medical Biophysics And Biochemistry

Biochemistry is the study of molecules and mechanisms in living organisms. In biochemistry we explore the structure and function of the key biomolecules (proteins, lipids, carbohydrates and nucleic acids) that allow the growth and development of all organisms. This module integrates the study of the related fields of molecular biophysics and biochemistry to give students an understanding of the macroscopic, microscopic, and molecular systems of life, including the physical principles governing biological function, and how scientists can investigate these systems using imaging and biochemical experimentation.
