Overview

Bachelor of Science - Biochemistry

Biochemistry is the discipline that attempts to understand ourselves and our interactions with nature from the direction of the physical sciences. 

It is the study of the chemistry of life.

The microbiology and chemistry departments share in the teaching and administration of this program, with excellent faculty members who all have externally-funded research programs, including two Canada Research Chairs.

University of Manitoba offers strong links to other programs in science and medicine, in topics ranging from chemistry to microbiology to biology including cellular signaling and cancer biology, molecular biology, structural biology, biophysics and bioenergetics, genomics, and genetics. 

Many courses include laboratory components to develop skills in scientific techniques and offer excellent preparation for graduate programs.
