MSc in Chemical Biology [Thesis] in Hamilton Canada | McMaster University

Chemical biology applies small molecules to influence biological systems. This interdisciplinary field combines synthetic and analytical chemistry with structural and molecular biology. The Chemical Biology program aims to equip students with expertise spanning chemistry, biochemistry, and biology, focusing particularly on employing chemical biology techniques to address intricate biological challenges. These include disease mechanisms, biological pathway regulation, and biomolecule functions in cellular processes (or malfunctions). Research spans multiple domains, with significant emphasis on infection studies, imaging techniques, and molecular interfaces.

To earn degrees in this program, students must complete required coursework and a research thesis. They are also expected to advance the field through original contributions and share their findings via academic publications and presentations.
