Pre-calculus mathematics is a required prerequisite of university-level mathematics courses in this program. If you are interested in this program, and have the option to take pre-calculus mathematics at your school, it is highly recommended that you do so, or enroll in pre-calculus mathematics through distance education/another institution or complete MATH 102 at USask to fulfil the prerequisite requirement during your first year. | | |

| Description | Biochemistry, microbiology and immunology examines the processes regulating DNA, RNA and proteins within cells and the world of viruses, bacteria and how infections occur and are combatted by the immune system. Mutations, metabolic disorders, cancer and determination of protein structure are of particular importance to humans in how we advance modern medicine. Studies of the immune system and microbial processes allow the development of protective solutions such as antibiotics and vaccines.
This program will help you develop a strong foundation in biomedical sciences and research skills, as well as provide you with experiential learning opportunities that will be essential to a broad spectrum of science-based careers and further education. You will learn about molecular and cellular approaches to the study of microbial physiology and pathogenesis, protein structure and function, molecular biology, microbial genetics, virology, tumour biology and cancer, immunology and immunopathogenesis. | | |
