The area could be in organic chemistry, biochemistry or molecular biology, or it could include biology or physics. Interdisciplinary Plans could be in immunology, chemical ecology, or biophysics, to name a few. Students are encouraged to do experimental work as part of the Plan. The minimum requirement in mathematics is an understanding of calculus and differential equations. Linear algebra and statistics would also be helpful.
Physical biochemistry requires even more mathematics.
