Bachelor of Science in Life Sciences - Origins of Disease (Honours)

McMaster University

In Honours Life Sciences – Origins of Disease Specialization, students investigate the molecular mechanisms of pharmaceutical activity, biological assays and the manifestation of disease.This specialization explores the molecular and cellular basis of the disease state and the principles of chemistry and biophysics that guide disease diagnosis and treatment.A unique aspect to our programs involves the implementation of community-based projects and peer mentoring experiential opportunities that are tied to in-course experiences. This multi-disciplinary approach to studying the Life Sciences provides students with a broad perspective for problem-solving and to undertake post-graduate research in an emerging life science field.
