生物化学可能无法为您提供生命意义的答案，但可以告诉您生命的运作方式。作为生物化学家，您将研究活生物体细胞内发生的化学过程。您可以利用对细胞过程和分子遗传学的了解来抗击疾病，设计抗虫作物或开发微生物来清理溢油。我们最先进的实验室和设备包括生物分子功能，相互作用和结构设施（BIOFINS），该设施收藏了加拿大东部独特的一系列仪器。小班授课可增强学生与教授之间的牢固关系，我们的教学实验室向您介绍该领域使用的技术。您还将：研究蛋白质，碳水化合物和脂质在细胞过程中的作用，研究环境中对有毒化合物的生化反应，接受研究方
Biochemistry may not give you the answers to the meaning of life, but it can tell you how life works. As a biochemist, you will study the chemical processes that occur within the cells of living organisms. You could use your knowledge of cellular processes and molecular inheritance to combat disease, engineer pest-resistant crops, or develop microorganisms to clean up oil spills. Our state-of-the-art labs and equipment include the Biomolecular Function, Interactions and Structure facility (BIOFINS) which houses a collection of instruments that is unique in Eastern Canada. Small class sizes foster strong studentprofessor relationships, and our teaching labs introduce you to the techniques used in the field. You will also: Study the role of proteins, carbohydrates and lipids in cellular processes, Examine biochemical responses to toxic compounds in the environment, Receive extensive training in research methodology, Perform original research as an undergraduate (honours and specialization students only)
