Introduction:

The course aims at helping students to learn the major concepts and methods of chemistry and biochemistry. Topics include simple organic chemistry, principles of molecular biology, scientific methods and skills for research. Students will gain hands-on experience of using modern technology such as infrared spectroscopy and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for running research projects.

本課程旨在幫助學生學習化學與生物化學的概念和方法。主題包括簡單有機化學,分子生物學原理和科學棎究的方法與技巧。學生將親身體驗如何應用現代科技諸如紅外光譜與聚合酶鏈反應(Polymearse Chain Reaction)技術在科學探究項目之應用。
