Biochemistry

Biochemistry is the study of life. This fascinating natural science will provide insights into the chemical processes driving the biological systems.

This course will immerse you in the sub-cellular world to understand the processes that are integral to life. You will develop an appreciation of the basic principles of biochemistry and the workings of biological networks. Since the field of biochemistry is continually evolving, through this course you will be introduced to the biochemistry underlying some concepts such as molecular biology, genetics, evolutionary biology, plant biology, human physiology, and the current advancements in the field of medicine. You will develop problem-solving, critical thinking, and analytical skills.

The class and lab sessions will embrace variable teaching and learning strategies for audio and visual learners, including but not limited to flip classes, discussions, think-pair-share, activities, and video sessions, etc. The lab will include a combination of wet lab and virtual lab where the topics would range from detection and analysis of macromolecules to isolating DNA from cells, testing blood sugars, and optimizing enzyme-catalyzed reactions, etc.

Who this course is for:
