Biochemistry is the study of molecules and mechanisms in living organisms. In biochemistry we explore the structure and function of the key biomolecules (proteins, lipids, carbohydrates and nucleic acids) that allow the growth and development of all organisms. The study of biological processes helps us to understand diseases and to see ways to a healthier existence.
Biochemistry is the study of the molecules and mechanisms essential to life. In this module, students learn about the structures of genomes, genes, proteins, and other molecular components of the cell, the various levels at which gene expression and protein function are regulated, and how knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of disease can lead to treatments and cures. See more information on the Western Calendar. Link to Undergraduate Program Outcomes.
This module offers coordinated, integrated training related to the multidisciplinary field of cancer biology, with emphasis on how knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of cancer progression is translated from the research lab to the cancer patient. See more information on the Western Calendar. Link to Undergraduate Program Outcomes.
This module integrates the study of the related fields of biochemistry and cell biology to give students an understanding of how biological molecules come together to form the structures that make up cells, the fundamental units of life, and how these cells interact with one another in multicellular organisms. See more information on the Western Calendar. Link to Undergraduate Program Outcomes.
In these modules, students will gain a solid foundation in the principles governing the properties and interactions of chemical compounds, and will apply this foundation to the study of the molecular processes of life, including disease states and the treatment of disease. See more information on the Western Calendar. Link to Undergraduate Program Outcomes.
This module integrates the study of the related fields of biochemistry, microbiology, and immunology to give students an understanding of the molecular mechanisms by which microorganisms attack human host cells, and by which the human host responds.

This module integrates the study of the related fields of genetics and biochemistry to give students an understanding of how differences in DNA sequences and modifications are passed from one generation to the next, and are manifested in the molecular processes of healthy and diseased organisms. See more information on the Western Calendar. Link to Undergraduate Program Outcomes.
This module integrates the study of the related fields of molecular biophysics and biochemistry to give students an understanding of the macroscopic, microscopic, and molecular systems of life, including the physical principles governing biological function, and how scientists can investigate these systems using imaging and biochemical experimentation. See more information on the Western Calendar.
Synthetic Biology is an interdisciplinary field in which genetic and biochemical approaches are used to design and construct novel biological systems (from small circuits all the way to complete genomes) with user-defined characteristics for use in medical, industrial, and environmental applications.
