Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Biology

Laurentian University

Uncover how the human body operates to discover innovative ways to treat and cure diseases. Biomedical biology is the study of how the human body works, the causes of diseases, and how we can prevent and treat them. It combines biology and medicine, looking closely at cells, genetics, organs, and systems to understand health and illness better. As a student in the Biomedical Biology program at Laurentian University, you’ll gain a thorough understanding of the functions of the human body at the cell, organ and system levels. In the first two years of the program, you’ll acquire a strong foundation in the basic principles of biology. You will then use this knowledge in the final two years to gain a deep understanding of subjects such as how the body develops, infectious diseases, tissue structure (histology), and hormones in medicine (medical endocrinology). Hands-on experience Our small class size provides unique opportunities, such as paid teaching assistantships, one-on-one instruction during labs, and the use of research-grade equipment. With over 400 hours of required lab work, an honours thesis and the option of internship placements, our students acquire hands-on skills which are sought after by employers.
