Qualifications

Overview

Biochemistry is the study of life at the cellular level, giving us insight into the history of all living species — animals, plants, bacteria, and viruses — and how they function.

Your knowledge of biochemistry can be applied in broad and diverse ways, such as developments in genetic engineering, conservation and restoration, biomedical science, and disease treatment.
