Biochemistry Coursework

The study of biochemistry is housed in the University of Maryland's College of Computer, Mathematics, and Natural Sciences (CMNS). It is home to twelve research institutes and ten academic departments. Many of its programs are ranked among the top ten public research institutions in the nation. Some of the many courses I've had the priviiledge of taking include the following:

BSCI222 - Principles of Genetics

Principles and mechanisms of heredity and gene expression. Considers plant, animal, and microbial organisms.
