Description:

The Department of Biochemistry and Microbiology offers students the opportunity to receive research training in a broad range of life science disciplines at the cellular, subcellular and molecular levels. Students have access to the facilities and faculty expertise necessary to allow them to use modern techniques such as genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, X-ray crystallography, cell culture and microscopy in their research. Teaching assistantships in the undergraduate laboratory program give graduate students experience in teaching and mentoring. Student seminar programs at the M.Sc. and Ph.D. levels, the grant-style research proposal required for the Ph.D. program and an annual research day give our graduate students the opportunity to acquire and polish their scientific presentation skills.
