Biochemistry1 - The Biochemistry Program is a broadly based program designed to provide the student
with a thorough understanding of living systems from a molecular perspective. The goals of
biochemistry are to identify the chemical components and molecules (such as DNA, RNA and protein)
of living cells and to determine the function of each component, how components interact, how they are
integrated into biological systems, and how these components affect the overall functions of cells and
living systems.
Biophysics2 - Brock's biophysics program will provide the students with a superb learning environment
and exciting research opportunities. Biophysics is the physics of life, of all living systems and their
interaction with the surroundings, natural and artificial.
Biology3 - The biological sciences, or the life sciences, encompass a broad spectrum of subjects from
molecular biology to ecology as well as such disciplines as biochemistry, biophysics, genetics and
physiology. The program is designed to provide the student with a broad base in modern biological
thought, to fulfill the basic requirements for admission to professional and advanced degree studies and
to prepare graduates for careers in the biological sciences and related fields.
