This studio-style course introduces students to advanced concepts in biochemistry, with an emphasis on the application of biochemistry methods to addressing problems of broader concern. Students will complete a series of multi-week research projects focused on the design, isolation and analysis of biomolecules and investigation of metabolic pathways, with applications in areas such as chemical biology, industrial biochemistry, sustainable fuel production, and the design and optimization of biochemical imaging tools. In addition to the core methods in biochemistry, students will also utilize methods and techniques from synthetic organic chemistry, molecular biology, microbiology, and molecular modelling in the completion of their projects.
Prerequisites
