Overview
Your research will fall within one or more of our three areas of research strength: environment and health, biotic interactions, and structure and reactivity.
Highlights
- The Biological and Chemical Sciences Program from Wilfrid Laurier University operates through an apprenticeship model where you will work closely with a faculty supervisor.
- Three core research strengths: environment and health, biotic interactions, and structure and reactivity.
- Winners of major external awards (OGS and Tri-Council) may be eligible for top-up funding which includes the Dean’s Graduate Scholarship (total value exceeds $10,000).
Programme Structure
Research strengths:
- Environment and health: Research directed at issues affecting the environment that may ultimately impact global health on a broader scale.
- Biotic interactions: Research on the biotic interactions that occur at all levels of biological organization and how such interactions influence biochemical and cellular processes, as well as the fitness and survival of individuals, populations and ecosystems.
- Structure and reactivity: Research on structural properties of small molecules, polymers, biomolecules, as well as supramolecular assemblies such as protein complexes, nanoparticles and liquid crystals, and the relation between these structures and their physical, chemical, or biological activities.
