New in Fall 2026 – BSc Biotechnology (Honours)
Welcome to the Institute of Biochemistry at Carleton University!
Biochemistry is a multidisciplinary exploration of the sub-cellular processes and chemical reactions that make life possible. Discoveries in biochemistry have been a catalyst for many of the advances in modern medicine, pharmacology, toxicology, and in the booming field of biotechnology. Since its inception, most of the Nobel prizes in Chemistry and Physiology or Medicine have been awarded to biochemists who were studying the incredible chemistry of life.
