Major and Honours in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry Programs

The MBB major program integrates Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Genomics, Bioinformatics and Biochemistry to provide a broad foundation in the life sciences. In lower division courses students are immersed in the magic of this remarkable discipline, from the marvel of the genetic code to understanding the fascinating processes that make cells work. Flexibility in upper division course selection allows students to tailor the program to their own interests as well as meet the entry requirements for medical school and other professional and graduate programs. A diverse array of upper division courses cover topics such as Cancer, Microbial Pathogens, Immunology, Molecular Genetics, Structural Biology and, of course, the Biochemistry behind it all. The MBB honours program offers an intense research experience in a laboratory setting for students wanting to go on to graduate or other laboratory focused programs. Students wishing to obtain a specialization in bioinformatics may opt to obtain a Genomics certificate as part of their degree.
