BS - Biology

      The BS Biology program is a preparatory course to medicine. Students are trained to do scientific research and inquiries. Previous students of this major have discovered plant vaccines against animal toxins, made surgical thread from nata de coco and isolated indigenous yeast species from Philippine wildflowers. They have also discovered anaesthetics from local herbs measured lead content contamination in vegetables and are currently testing anti-microbial properties of ants and termites.
