Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
What is biochemistry and molecular biology?
Biochemistry and molecular biology represent an interdisciplinary science that links
the chemical, physical and biological sciences to solve fundamental challenges associated
with biomedicine and agriculture. This major trains students to understand how molecular
components of the cell function in unison, how medically prescribed drugs act on cell
metabolism, how defects in metabolism lead to disease states, and how molecular biology
is applied to genetically modify living organisms.
