生物化学 & 分子生物学
Centre’s program in bio化学 and molecular biology (BMB) is designed to provide a solid introduction to the cellular and molecular fundamentals of life.
概述
The BMB program meets the needs of a variety of students: those who want to pursue bio化学, 细胞生物学, and/or molecular genetics in graduate school, those who want to pursue a career in the health professions (dentistry, 医学, 药店, veterinary 医学, or allied health fields), 这些生物学, 化学, or physics students who want to broaden and complement their course of studies.
Our BMB labs feature state-of-the-art instruments including an image analysis system consisting of a Zeiss fluorescence microscope equipped with a digital camera connected to a computer, 低温恒温器, cell culture facilities (laminar flow hood, tissue culture incubator, inverted phase-contrast microscopes), computerized spectrophotometer, numerous electrophoresis apparatuses, equipment for recombinant DNA work, 超声发生器, a liquid scintillation counter, ultrafreezer, 冷冻干燥器, 冰冷的房间, superspeed and ultracentrifuges, high-performance liquid chromatograph and fraction collectors, as well as additional routine laboratory equipment.

课程
The BMB major begins in the first-year/sophomore years with a solid foundation in biology, 化学, 数学, 和物理. In the junior and senior years, students progress from macromolecules to cellular metabolism to molecular genetics to 细胞生物学. 同时, these junior-senior courses introduce the student to most of the major experimental tools that are critical to this molecular understanding of life. 最后, students are exposed to a wide spectrum of research currently underway in the field, partly through their senior seminar, and partly through research participation.
