BIOCHEMISTRY

Biochemistry is the study of chemical processes within and relating to biological organisms. This means that biochemists work to understand the reactions that happen within living organisms on a cellular and molecular level. 

Studying biochemistry gives insights into areas such as the origin of life, the nature of disease, and the development of individual organisms.

The field of biochemistry has led to advancements in gene editing, drug synthesis and new treatments for life-threatening illnesses.
