It is the study of the chemical substances and processes that occur in microorganisms and of the changes they undergo during development and life.It is a laboratory based science that brings together biology and chemistry. By using chemical knowledge and techniques, biochemists can understand and solve biological problems.
Biochemistry covers a range of scientific disciplines, including genetics, microbiology, forensics, plant science and medicine. Because of its breadth, biochemistry is very important and advances in this field of science over the past 100 years have been staggering. It’s a very exciting time to be part of this fascinating area of study.
Why we need Biochemists ?
1. Provide new ideas and experiments to understand how life works
2. Support our understanding of health and disease
3. Contribute innovative information to the technology revolution
4. Work alongside chemists, physicists, healthcare professionals, policy makers, engineers and many more professionals
