Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Cellular, Molecular and Microbial Biology] From University of Calgary

As a student in CMMB you'll get a broad perspective on diverse topics, including the function of molecules in bacteria and animal cells, the relationships between cell structure and cell function, the importance of microbes to the environment, industry and disease, and the interactions of microbes with each other and with plant and animal cells.In addition, you'll have instruction on the molecular basis of gene regulation in microbial and animal cells, the biological features of different types of microorganisms, the molecular basis for animal development, the structure of animal cells and the functions of their internal organelles, the molecular basis for cancer and other diseases, the interaction of animal cells with microorganisms and viruses, and the application of recombinant DNA techniques to problems in basic science and biotechnology. In short, CMMB programs include the study of how bacterial cells and animal cells function, and how their functions influence our lives.
