Overview

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology program at University of Northern British Columbia has two main components: learning about molecules and learning about the scientific method.

Key facts:

The former involves acquiring expertise in the foundations of biochemistry, such as organic and physical chemistry, and then exploring biological molecules and how they operate in living systems.

The latter involves exploring how science asks questions to understand the workings of nature, while developing competence in laboratory skills and analysis. These two aspects are linked because an understanding of how information is acquired is as important as the information itself, since different experimental systems can yield different insights into complex biological problems.
