Course Summary
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology 1 is a major component of the second year of the Bachelor of Laboratory Medicine (Honours; BH129), Bachelor of Food Technology and Nutrition (BP199), and Bachelor of Science (Biotechnology)/Bachelor of Biomedical Science (BP293) programs. It is designed to provide the student with an understanding of the disciplines of biochemistry and molecular biology, and their applications in the laboratory. The theory you will learn throughout the course will be applied and integrated into a series of laboratory-based practicals (face-to-face and/or on-line). You will solve practical-based scenarios and undertake a laboratory practical assessment at the end of the semester. Throughout the course you will gain an immersive laboratory experience covering biochemistry and molecular biology concepts and learn current, relevant state-of-the-art bioanalytical techniques which are routinely used in the clinical environment and in research. You will develop the required graduate attributes to either undertake professional practice or research endeavours.
