Students will develop a comprehensive understanding of the chemical and biological principles underlying the structure, function, and interactions of biomolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates. They will apply this knowledge to explain biochemical processes in health and disease, design and conduct experiments using modern biochemical techniques, and critically analyze scientific data. Through these skills, students will connect biochemical concepts to real-world applications including drug design, metabolism, disease mechanisms (such as cancer and diabetes), and biotechnology innovations, preparing them for careers in research, healthcare, industry, or further graduate study. 

Students will develop a comprehensive understanding of the principles and mechanisms of evolution, including natural selection, genetic variation, mutation, gene flow, and genetic drift. They will apply this knowledge to analyze and interpret scientific data on evolutionary processes, understand the history of life on Earth, and evaluate evidence from multiple disciplines such as genetics, paleontology, and ecology. Through this understanding, students will connect evolutionary concepts to practical real-world issues including biodiversity conservation, human health (such as antibiotic resistance and disease evolution), and environmental change, preparing them for careers in research, healthcare, environmental management, and education.
