Students will explore the modern applications of bio-molecular research in anthropology, chemistry, biology, and physics in Applied Life Sciences program. This interdisciplinary program focuses on the study of living organisms at the bio-molecular or cellular level, and the human manipulation of molecular biological processes, with hands-on learning through laboratory courses, research opportunities, and internships.

students will acquire skills in cutting-edge molecular biology, biotechnology, and diagnostic methods in Lakehead University’s world-renowned labs including the Paleo DNA Laboratory.

The Applied Life Sciences major can include a concentration in Biomedical Sciences, as well as specializations in Biotechnology or Experimental Life Sciences. A combined degree-diploma program offered in partnership with Georgian College is another option that will allow students to graduate with both an Honors Bachelor of Science in Applied Life Science degree and a Biotechnology-Health diploma.
