Programme Structure

Curriculum:

During the initial year, each entering student will be required to take a research orientation rotation course.

This course consists of six to eight weeks of laboratory work in each of three laboratories in at least two research areas. Each student is required to take a comprehensive course in biochemistry.

All students receive a comprehensive and rigorous education in biochemistry by participating in formal courses representing principal areas of biochemistry and molecular biology.

In addition to the general biochemistry rotation and laboratory research courses, each student will be required to register for advanced biochemistry courses until passing with a grade of “B” or better in one course in each of three of the following five subject areas: molecular biology, enzymology and bio-organic chemistry, physical biochemistry, metabolism and regulation, and biochemistry of structure and function.
