About this course

Overview

This is a crossover field of chemistry in which you'll study the essential processes of life at the molecular level. You'll use complex equipment and procedures to understand the biomolecular world, explore applications in drug design, and monitor the effects that new substances (such as food additives and medicines) have on living organisms.
