从一开始，您就可以使用分子实验室常用的关键仪器和技术。您还将获得使用重组DNA技术（例如聚合酶链反应（PCR）和DNA测序）研究基因结构和功能的丰富经验。我们的计划强调基因组学和生物信息学–设计和进行自己的实验时将使用的两种重要方法。在学习的前两年中，您将专注于基本概念和理论。然后，在接下来的两年中，您将把这些概念和原理应用到更广泛的生物技术研究中。在整个过程中，您将有机会与教职顾问进行原创性研究，并在研究会议上展示您的发现。
Biochemists and molecular biologists study the chemistry of life. This includes protein structure and function, metabolism, and the mechanics of DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis. Our program serves students whose end goal is a bachelor of science degree, as well as those seeking entry into medical or graduate school. Our program emphasizes genomics and bioinformaticstwo important methods that you will use as you design and carry out your own experiments. During the first two years of study, you will focus on basic concepts and theories. Then, during the next two years, you will apply these concepts and principles to the broader study of biotechnology. Throughout, you will have the opportunity to conduct original research with faculty advisors and present your findings at research conferences.
