Bioanalytical Chemistry,
Description
Bioanalytical chemistry and the chemical analysis of biological samples are important areas in modern biological and biochemical research and in industries that either produce or test biochemicals. Examples of fields in which bioanalytical chemistry plays an essential component include clinical testing, biomedical research, food and agricultural research, drug testing and development, and biotechnology. This certificate program will meet an ongoing and growing need for professionals who have expertise and training in bioanalytical chemistry and who can readily apply the methods of this field to new areas of research, chemical or biochemical analysis, or product development as related to humans, animals, plants, and microorganisms.
