During the first two years, students typically take foundational courses and labs in subjects such as cell biology, organic chemistry, calculus and physics. Starting in their junior year, students will dive into biochemistry (including research) as they study genetics, metabolism and how cells work on a molecular level. Students have some required courses, of course, but they'll also be able to choose electives in related topics like anatomy, drug discovery and neurobiology.

This program is in UB’s medical school, which means students have access to expert faculty, state-of-the-art labs, research projects and other opportunities through UB's affiliated hospitals and clinics.
