Apply the principles of biochemistry and biology to study how living organisms can be used in medical, agricultural, environmental and industrial applications. Some areas include genetic engineering, personalized medicine, drug discovery, applied microbiology and biological control of insect pests. Local companies and government agencies are applying biotechnological solutions to complex problems such as biofuel production from agricultural waste, the design of medical diagnostic screening devices and the development of new anti-cancer and antimicrobial therapies. The extensive hands-on training offered in the Biochemistry/Biotechnology and Biology/Biotechnology programs will provide the experience you need to work in a fast-paced and growing employment sector.
