This interdisciplinary program combines basic studies from areas such as molecular biology, biochemistry, pharmacology and organic chemistry, and courses designed especially for biopharmaceutical sciences' students. 

The goal is to produce graduates who, after further specialization, will be ready to work in an interdisciplinary environment at the interfaces between biology, chemistry and health-related sciences. 

Two options are offered: genomics (for students interested in the genetic and biological aspects of the field) and medicinal chemistry (for those fascinated by organic and biological chemistry). Genomics focuses on molecular biology and the function of genes and proteins in the study of diseases. Medicinal chemistry emphasizes organic and biological chemistry and their applications to the production of new and better pharmaceuticals. 

Graduates from both streams are well positioned to enter all sectors of the growing health sector, from biomedical research and biopharmaceuticals development to drug manufacturing and regulation. They also meet most requirements for entry into professional programs such as medicine, law, education and administration.

This program is offered in English and in French.
