If you’ve ever wondered how living things work, where they get their energy from, how they make the structures they live in or what it is that your genes do, then biochemistry is for you.
Biochemists use molecular approaches to understand the chemical processes and reactions within living organisms.
Biochemistry is key in many areas of research, including medicine, agriculture, and the environment: how cells can be turned into bio-factories, how to make improved crops, how trillions of cells assemble to form you, why you get old, what causes diseases like cancer, and so much more.
