The Mission of Biochemistry Programme
Biochemistry is a branch of science that investigates the chemical compounds and processes occurring in living organisms at molecular level. The knowledge procured from studies in Biochemistry has extensive applications in medicine and biotechnology that drastically revolutionize our daily life.
The Biochemistry Programme curriculum emphasizes on current topics in biochemistry and molecular biology that have scientific, medical and social significance. We provide core knowledge training on classical biochemistry topics, e.g. metabolism, proteins & enzymes, neuroscience, immunology and endocrinology.
Our Programme focuses on 4 main biochemistry areas:
- Chemical biology
- Structural biology
- Synthetic biology
- Health & well-being
To cater to individual student needs, we offer a variety of courses tailored to these four areas. Additionally, students gain hands-on experience through a year-long laboratory course, where they receive consecutive training in cutting-edge biochemical techniques. Our pre-capstone course enhances students’ scientific literacy skills and equip them with skills for professional career development.
Beyond coursework, our students benefit from academic and professional experiential learning opportunities, such as final year projects, research internships, and participation in global competitions like the International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) competition. Our comprehensive approach equips students for successful research or career paths in the scientific field.
